FM-3 Question

21 years ago

We have our house up for sale, and we hope to retire to Mexico in about four months. The Mexican consulate just sent me the form for an FM-3 card and visa.

I understand that if I enter Mexico with a trailer, I will have to pay duty if I only have a tourist card. But the FM-3 application assumes that I am already retired. It is hard to get hold of anyone on the phone, so my question is: I am still working, and I will not retire until
we've sold the house. I will have enough income from my retirement funds, but they want proof from my last three bank statements.

Can I merely show them my current bank statements (which meet the income requirements) and get the FM-3 card without being retired yet?l

Thanks, Vince
