thanks for the detailed video and screenshots. I have a question and a couple of comments from my experience. question - towards the end of the video when you demonstrate how to request an appt for RFC : why did you choose 'cases especially' instead of the 1st option ( the 'usual' personas físicas )? I read a bit - but didn't understand when it would apply. my other comments have to do with my attempts to get an appt for RFC. I am a permanent resident of MX, US citizen. I was in US for family ( health issues) and wanted to get an appt set up - so I was able to get in the virtual line, Note - it only worked when I used a VPN that indicated I was logged on "in" México ( otherwise the screens do not load fully ). When I received my appointment ( quickly!) it was before I could return - so I cancelled. When I tried to get another appt 3 weeks later - I got a (very brief) pop -up alert indicating that I could not get back in the fila virtual until 30 days had passed since I canceled my prior appointment!. I don't see any mention of that anywhere. is there some way to decline an appointment and get back in the fila?
Hi @mhmsm I selected “casos especial” because that’s what I was instructed to do as a foreigner who didn’t need an RFC for tax purposes. And you are correct, I believe as I made my appointment (in the email confirmation, maybe?) they informed me that if I cancelled my appointment, I would have to wait 30days to make another. I don’t think there is a way around it, sadly (unless you hire a facilitator of some sort). I know it can be frustrating. Most people won’t cancel their appointment for that reason. They tend to just let the appointment pass and reschedule it right away, to avoid the 30 day probation window. I hope your family is well 🙏🏽 sorry for your troubles. Hopefully this answered your questions and was helpful, at least to shed a little light on the topics. Let us know how it goes!
thank you for such a quick reply. honestly, I can't find the original email, and simply didn't recall the 30 day warning. seems counter intuitive, but you're right - makes more sense to let it lapse and then reschedule. I was very surprised how quickly I was scheduled (assigned appt 3 days after getting into fila and appt was for < 2 weeks after I got into the fila. I will be returning after the holidays, so plan to get in line again soon and hope for the best. @@MixedinMexico
@@MixedinMexico First of all, this video is AMAZING. So clear and easy to understand. As far as this question regarding the post above... When I clicked "Servicios", I do not even show that option of "casos especiales"... I only had 2 options. Maybe the site has changed since the video was made?
Thank you for all of your videos! They are very informative and helpful! I think i may have made a huge mistake. I received my email with an appointment date and time and was so excited that i finally got an appointment that i neglected to read the entire message. I now realize that it says you have 24 hours to confirm your appointment or it will be reassigned. I failed to confirm and now when i login to check my appointment, it isn't there!! Do you think i should just print out the email with the appointment, show up and play dumb?Lol
Hi @NatureBather Thank you for the compliment; I’m glad you find the content helpful. I can only image the happiness and frustration you’ve felt with your circumstances. I would absolutely print it out and play dumb. 😂 The worst they could say is no; so it couldn’t hurt your situation to try. Especially if your mother tongue isn’t Spanish. Maybe you’ll get an understanding person at the office; who knows! I’m rooting for you either way though!! Let us know how it goes!
Hi Johnathan! No problem; glad to help. I actually touch on this topic briefly in my video on how I got my RFC as a Temporary Resident. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H-U_3O3fuQY.html) In order to handle urgent business down here in Mexico, a lot of people have hired a facilitator to expedite the process of getting their RFCs. It's not "cheap" but can potentially save a lot of time; especially if you need it sooner. If that's what you're looking for, I would definitely get in contact with your local/preferred Notaria here in Mexico and inquire about the service. 😊 I hope that's helpful!
Hello, I just made an appointment in person to get a RFC. I wanted a virtual appointment but it said none available. I am a citizen by birth but don’t live there. I live in the US and I’m wondering what documents or what I need to get RFC if I don’t live there or work there?
Hi @lschl7584 if you have an existing SAT appointment that you would like to cancel, when you go to consult your appointment (demonstrated in the later part of the video) on minute 7:15 under the subheading “Consulta/Gestion de citas” you will see in the 6th column there “cancelar cita” with a button to click. Go through the prompts for that to cancel it. If you are looking to reschedule your appointment right away, be advised that you may have to wait a little. Once an appointment is canceled, SAT will give you a probationary period in which you cannot schedule a new appointment until the allotted amount of days has past. (I don’t remember the exact amount of days; and it may have changed.) That is why a lot of individuals hesitate to cancel their appointments, and prefer to let it pass unattended instead. Just some extra “food for thought.” I hope that helps!
Hi Radha. Which process are you trying to complete? Verifying that you have an RFC, Locating it, or Making an appointment for one? And have you also tried using a different browser to begin the process?
@@MixedinMexico Hi! Thanks for the reply I'm trying to use the option Verifica si estás registrado en el RFC . When I get to that page & click the yellow EJECUTAR EN LINEA BUTTON it doesn't go to another page, it takes me back to the same landing page for Verifica si estás registrado en el RFC, then wash, rinse repeat. I'm very computer savvy so I'm pretty sure it's not a user error. I just tried a third browser, Edge the same thing is happening. Maybe I'll try it on my phone.
@@MixedinMexico Also, I have permanent residency but don't own a home or a car or have a job in Mexico, so I'm assuming I don't have one. One handy thing I discovered is that there's actually a "generic" RFC, and what I read is it can be used for utilities and even some back accounts. It worked with my Albo card, which they were about to cancel!
Hey Radha! Sorry I can’t be of more assistance; it looks like you’ve tried everything. Sometimes these Mexican websites can be a little tricky; hopefully they get that glitch fixed for you. But you are absolutely right! There is a generic RFC that I’ve mentioned in previous videos which will come in handy for tourists and locals alike. As a permanent resident though, you have a leg up above others as you could go into almost any SAT office and get an RFC, no problem (if you desire and don’t have one). I’m glad it’s been working out for you though. If you have any other questions Mexico-related, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll do my best to try and be helpful! 😊
@@MixedinMexico Thanks! I appreciate your help. I've lived in Mexico for over 8 years and I did all of my residency on my own (back when it was a lot harder, i.e. now you get it the same day!!! Lol. Anyway, I'm pretty good with research, but still get stuck sometimes or too busy...I'll bookmark your channel it seems to have great resources : )
