You can also use the MX Gov sites. Don't let Chrome translate or you will have issues inputting the date:


Immigration:
https://www.inm.gob.mx/fmme/publico...DSRRCKIsNA2_o0JUaMNHgHUiZjQhYplf8uA5JgxXDTCJ8

Customs: Choose Cancun then Cozumel for the checkpoint:
Datos de identificación

You're not able to make this work with your Residente Permanente, are you?

No sadly not for immigration. I just use the customs form. I would try printing a INM, but I would be too afraid it would load it in the system and jack up my green card.

We take the immigration form they give us on the plane, tuck it away and use it leaving.

You would think they would make it simpler. Like why even fill out a form? They scan the card coming and going. And unlike a naturalized Mexican citizen, we permanent residents can be out of MX as long as we want.

A few questions on these:

1) The customs form can be filled out no earlier than days prior to departure, correct?
2) On the immigration form I have read here that it is wise to "pad" the departure date by a few days to allow for unexpected delays in leaving -- airline cancellations, etc. Is this true or will I be arrested?
3) I am arriving in Cozumel, diving for a week, ferrying over to PDC for a few days of cenote diving, then departing from Cancun. Will this cause a problem with the forms?

Thanks.

Correct. I don't keep a printer at home, so my daughter prints my Immigration and a blank customs form to mail to me. I fill out the customs form by hand.

2) On the immigration form I have read here that it is wise to "pad" the departure date by a few days to allow for unexpected delays in leaving -- airline cancellations, etc. Is this true or will I be arrested?

That was my approach, but your departure or length of stay is no longer on the form. If he asks, I'll say a month, even tho I plan to stay eight days.

3) I am arriving in Cozumel, diving for a week, ferrying over to PDC for a few days of cenote diving, then departing from Cancun. Will this cause a problem with the forms?

No problem there. Be sure to not lose the part of the Immigration form he hands back as you need that to leave, otherwise there is a fine and paperwork to be done in another part of the airport. I put mine in my passport inside a ziplock so it can't fall out. We are supposed to carry those on our persons, but most just take photos of the passport info page and the form to carry on their phones and keep the actual items locked in the room safe.

Thanks Don.

But the form linked by @cvchief requires Date of Departure. Is there a more recent one?

That's the form I used. The completed form you get to download doesn't have a departure date, but I guess that it's stored in their system. Try it.
