My condolences, verry sorry to hear that and I did not mean to criticize in any way, I have been on the "overstay" road myself in the past, but the highest I have ever reached was like 15k in pesos... I just got a bit confused why would you prefer to pay that much for practically air, but that's a perfect response. Sorry again for your loss!You're correct. My mother and brother passed away and I need to return to the U.S. to take care of my niece so it will be over ten years before I return. When I get back I will be ready to buy property and then I will do things by the book and get residency so I can avoid these fines in the future.
