Law of Population

Immigration is under the oversight of the National Institute of Immigration ('Instituto Nacional de Migración') which is a department of the Secretary of Government ('Secretaría de Gobernación') and is regulated by the Law of Population ('Ley de Población').

In Mexico, there are 3 distinct immigration statuses. They are:

· No Inmigrante – Non immigrant – FM3 VISA – some short term visits of a non immigrant nature are not issued an FM3, these conditions are stipulated in the Law of Population.

· Inmigrante – Immigrant – FM2

· Inmigrado - Immigrated person – INMIGRADO – Permanent resident

And, obviously, all Mexican laws: Civil, Criminal, etc.

Any doubt or another question, let me know it please.
