New Automated INM Entry Scanners at GDL

These are now up and running.

BUT......do NOT use if you have residency status here. They are for tourists.

Facebook full of recent stories of expats with residency status having used these scanners by mistake.

If you or anyone you know with residency status used these kiosks, you must go to INM in Chapala and get it fixed. INM has told those affected that they will fix it ONCE, after that your residency status will be terminated.

There was evidently a 'learning curve' among staff at GDL and some residents were told to use these machines.

Thanks for the heads up!

Yesterday I had my residency card out and went right to an INM guy. Haven’t traveled since before Covid and the airport looks wonderful!

I was amazed at how fast we got through on our arrival. The changes that have been made in the two years since our last visit are amazing. When we got down to the lobby, I was totally lost with all the changes. I hardly recognized anything.
