Posts: 3801The Tijuana Cops, Passports, & Permits
I've been following all this and plan to cross by foot next weekend and have a Passport Card which I will use to cross with.
It's my understanding that people driving into the country are "exempt" from all of this and that the showing of a Passport / Issuance of a permit is not done.
The Tijuana Cops in the Zone are going to have a field day with this.
I know lots of guys drive across and others walk.
So what happens when someone has driven across, is stopped by the Cops on the street, and does not have a permit and / or a copy of a permit because they drove.
I see lots of extortion in the works and wouldn't be surprised to see a report about something like this very soon.

Many businesses moved away or closed. This is for sure going to affect the Tijuana business negatively in the short term. However I did see that some business including.
The people holding cups asking for money already moved to the sides of the half completed new walkway.

Posts: 6523Crossing border in cars
I drove down, crossing border at about 7 PM Friday night.
The line backed up to the last USA exit. There was no accidents or delay, just slow down due to congestion. Cars were going through immigration lanes without stopping. Mexico even turned off the RED / GREEN traffic lights in the lanes. They pulled over and searched about 1 in every 200 cars, mostly pick up trucks and SUVs loaded with goods.
Nobody was asking for passport or exit visas. Just drove right through. It took half hour to get to Coahuila, and the same amount of time to cross back in SENTRI lane at midnight.

But in the case of the free visa (for 7 days or less) the Mexican government doesn't want to go through the time, expense and bother of reissuing a S / T visa daily for those visitors who stay in Mexico for just a few hours each time, multiple times each week?
Too bad they didn't take that logic to the matter of someone who stays more than a week at a time, but does that multiple times within a 6-month period.

Probably heading down to Tijuana next week on Wednesday or Thursday (8-26,8-27). Noticed that the "Ticuan" is open again, but although I stayed there once before and liked it, not sure it is the same since re-opening. Also, the location is a long walk to the Zona. So, perhaps "Cascadas" this time instead. Anyone have any thoughts as to which choice would be better? Simply going to drink some beer, relax and have fun for an afternoon and night.

I will purchase a 180 day visa once a month until they tell me I can't anymore. My time is split between SD and Tijuana. Two weeks in each place. If they want me out eventually then fine I will leave.
Right now day trippers have been told to hold onto the 7 day visa and when it expires get another one. This could change at some point.
On the other hand people passing cars get waived right through.
This will be a mess for a while then it gets more strict or they give up due to caos. We shall see.
Have fun and just go with the flow.

Fast and easy.
No stamp on my card. LOL.
Even taxi stand is closer than before.
Just shout 10 pesos and 1 of the driver will waive hand.
You can get off at revolution and 2nd.

Business takes me to Tijuana and I cross each morning and return in the evening. If I have to stand in line each time I cross I will have to rethink my plan. I was hoping the initial paper would be sufficient and you could bypass completing the paperwork again but that does not sound like an option.

Posts: 6523Mexico's stamps in the passport
If Mexico insists on stamping passports, the gringos who live in Mexico and commute to work in the US (like one of my attorney friends) would have about 300 stamps every year in their passports.
Unless they use a very small stamp, it would quickly take lots of passport pages for those commuters.
