What to do after temporary residency expires?

5 years ago
Hi guys,

First-time poster. I've been living in Mexico as a temporary resident with permission to work for the past two years but owing to the pandemic will be unable to get sponsorship this year. When a temporary residency card expires, what are the rules? Do you have to leave the country immediately? Can you leave and re-enter on a tourist visa (immediately)? I speak Spanish and will ask at the INM anyway, but just wondering if anyone has had this problem and found a way around it, so to speak.

Many thanks!
Paul
