Moved to Mexico in 2012. Told reg. Agency I was moving. Filled out one form. Signed. Crossed the border into Baja Ca. Two weeks later my name was removed from Megans law website RSO List. Now a few years later, you gotta dig deep in google or pay $$$ to find any conviction info. No cost. Nomuss. Nofuss.
Applied for and got Mex. Nationality status, VoterID, ect.ect. I pay 325 for a private 75 acre ranch walled in and policed by ?????????? .Don’t really ask those dudes too much. Any who .True Story. Funny thing is, cops up here 28/29 me all the time. Not a peep from c.l.e.t.s., as to my 290 conviction. They call me sir now and smile. Respect and integrity was what I got by leaving our Police State.

Congratulations! You barely beat the new Mexican policy, “Guardian Angel.” Nowadays, if you fly in, you will be turned back. Currently, they are still able to walk in, but with all the hoopla given to registration status in the US, it is unlikely that they would pass the paperwork you were able to complete to move into your rancho.
We are very happy for you. Too bad you couldn’t invite many of us here as registrants are now banned for the very reason above.
caught in my day dreaming… sigh… I was hoping to move to Belize, but their visa entry is strict now
Yes, if the fascist US government had not been so shady as to betray all of us you can bet a whole lot more of us would have left! Enjoy your freedom from this BS offender crap.
I am working on my escape plan and I can assure you that I will be out of this country before the end of the year…legally and once and for all.
Stay tuned – Lee
I knew the noose was being tightened a few years back and desperately wanted to escape from the US before it was too late. Now it’s too late. I couldn’t find a job to finance my escape and had already lost everything thanks to the AWA. Congratulations on your escape from the USA.
I still dream of escaping, but I feel like I’m living in a nightmare based in 1930s/40s nazi Germany. I believe I know how many Jews felt who were unable to escape in time or just plain couldn’t afford to escape before all escape routs were closed by the Nazi’s.
I do not know much about Mexico. A while ago – well before there was a “Guardian Angel” program – I was doing research about residency (not even citizenship) in some other Central American countries.
If memory serves, most countries require a “good conduct” letter from the past x years from the law enforcement agency of residence during that time.
Was / is this not the case in Mexico?
My Question can you return to U.S. ??
Anyone know whether it is still possible to do exactly as OP did, assuming I enter via land border crossing? I am becoming more convinced as time goes on that a lifetime of registration is not an option for me.
Tired of This- Mexico immigration laws changed in late 2013 and now all non simple tourists requests must be handled by consulates from within your country of residence. They do a full background check before any visas now are issued.
I have no idea if this is a possibility, but with Cuba opening up and perhaps some Cubans not minding to “annoy” USA officials, could it be possible they would grant a “non-threat” registrant residency status? At least if you had the means of support as normally required?
MexLiving;
Well, you made it out just in time and congratulations on your foresight, planning and good fortune. I travel to Rosarito 4-6 times a year and never a problem until I come home, but lately secondary has just pushed me through, so not much of a wait coming back to the US. I do have a question; I’ve been invited to a close friends important family function in Cancun. I know if I fly from here to there I’ll be turned back immediately. I’m thinking of getting my FMM in Rosarito at the Immigration office there, then going to TJ, getting my plane ticket and flying from TJ to Cancun. Do you see a huge risk in that or a serious potential problem? You’re input would be much appreciated.
