Canje Clock
Verified November 2026 · Source: IMSS, INM and Mexican consulate pages
Your entry date to the 30-day canje deadline, counted for you. Inside the full plan the deadline lands in your tracker with reminders at 30, 7 and 1 days, armed only when you confirm the date.
Your entry date starts the clock
Enter Mexico on a residency visa and you have 30 days to start the canje, the exchange of the visa for your residency card, at an INM office. Enter the date you entered, or will enter, and the clock shows your deadline.
Track it in your plan
Inside My Mexico Move, this deadline sits in your tracker with reminders at 30, 7 and 1 days, armed only when you confirm the date. The rule is public knowledge; the tracking is the plan's.
The 30-day window is counted from the entry stamp in your passport. Miss it and the visa can lapse, which is why this single clock is the highest-value deadline in the whole move. The Visa Toolkit walks the canje itself, office by office.
The tools work inside a plan
Each of these tools writes into the My Mexico Move plan: the packet lands at Stage 3, the canje deadline in your tracker, your IMSS band at Stage 7. The plan is the dashboard for your move: one year, everything tied together.
