So then the permit is issued when driving past the baja Cali border or is still issued at Tijuana border?

**Reinaldo** · 05-31-13 03:03

The permit is only required to drive deeper into mainland Mexico. It is not required in Baja California.

When you return if you do not have the car you are going to have to pay the tariff for selling the vehicle unless you have a police report showing it stolen. They have it set up so that say if you go down there and sell it and then walk back in and then the next time you go you drive in in a different car they will notice from the computer that your first car was still there so you will have to pay the tariff then.

Would you please tell me a bit more about the San Ysidro- Tijuana- San Ysidro border crossings:In which line I have to stand to get the visa card, can I pay the fee at the same counter and which line I have to use when I am returning to USA?

Now I can recall what happened to me about 4 years ago. I entered Mexico by land from Guatemala. They Mexican immigration officer asked me to fill out a form. He did not say any thing about a visa fee. I did not know there was a visa fee. They gave me a part of that form back to me and mentioned something about a bank. I did not understand what he was talking about. Then after 2 weeks, when I went to Mexico City airport to check in for my Lufthansa flight, the agent refused to give me the boarding pass until I had paid the money at the bank. It took me about 2 hours to understand what was happening, to locate the bank at the airport, pay the money and get my boarding pass. When I asked the airline agent why I was the only person in the check in line had that problem. It appears that if you fly in to Mexico, this visa fee is included in the ticket and you don't have to pay when you are departing the country.

Visa card can be obtained from the oficina de gobierno right after you cross the turnstiles, down the stair, into the building, first right into corridor, just tell them you want a FMM "forma migratoria multiple", fill itn eh form, they will stamp it, and give you the other half in your passport, then just go to any bank and ask them which line to pay (in my gutter spanish, cual linea es por pagar la FMM?") once you paid, bank will stamp it, and when you are ready to depart, just go to the same office and return it before you cross border

After working hard and a hard semester in the university, I needed a much deserved break. Reserved a room at the Ticuan and then made that exhausting 20 minute hike to the border for the holiday weekend. I decided to park in the UETA lot because it was 7 bucks a day, unlike the 21 bucks a day on the other side of I-5 behind Jack-off in the Box.

Called in my first trooper a few days prior to arriving, a x-mesera, but she was a no show; no worries. I hung in HK for awhile, and then on to LC where I met up with Artisttyp. We were trying to talk, but the meseros were relentless, and kept bringing girls over to us. At one point, they were worst than the HK meseros. One mesero then brought over one of the previous HK girls; my massage sweetie. I bought her a drink, and she massaged me as if there was no tomorrow.

We later moved on to CC, were we met up with Guitarrfreak. I was told that one of my favorites moved to BT, but I knew my Tijuana wife was working there, so I asked Guitarrfreak and Artisttyp to distract her in case we ran into her, and they promised me that they would. As soon as we hit the main entrance, my wife was standing guard, and my two trusted soldiers walked right by her and left me to fend for myself. I had to surrender, but after getting interrogated and water boarded, I escaped without physical injury. However, mentally I'm fucked forever!

I located and found my new wife and we drank for a couple of hours. She promised me that she would be at my hotel at one on Saturday. She was a fucking no show! So I woke up at noon for nothing? I decided to carry out my other favorite activities; drinking and eating. I decided to call in an another trooper, a x-HK girl, who got herself a regular job; I was proud of her.

She assured me she would be at the hotel at 4, and at 4 I got a text, she was in the lobby. I have not seen her for over a year, and she was dressed to please me. Hell, I almost didn't recognize her with her clothes on! We hung and played in the room for a couple of hours. We were hungry, so I called my buddies, Sal & wife, to come get us so we could get something to eat.

Sal was there within 20 minutes. He took us to this little Spanish restaurant called Paellas Tonico? It was really a neat place with a great staff. We had the traditional paella and it was good. Also the sangria was made with vodka and it was quite tasty. Sal drove my girl home and it was a way out there. We went through La Mesa and went up this hill for a while. Sal did not like the area. I could tell this because he started singing,"In the ghetto."

Sunday afternoon in HK was slow and I decided to call in another trooper to drink and party with. Another x-mesera that I have not seen for about 6 months. The last time I saw her she trimmed down because of the lack of drinking fichas. She called when she was on station so I sent maricóand to fetch her. He returned without her because she did not have an I'd. I went out and noticed she put the weight back on and then some! Thus, I nicknamed her "Hefty."

We drank in LC for a while, and then in BT for a while longer. Hefty told me that tomorrow was her birthday and was asking for a present. I thought a treadmill would be an excellent gift, but I was not willing to spend that much money. Hefty said she needed a new phone. So it was off to Sanborns to look at phones. Hefty really liked the flashing big phones; wasn't going to happen. We settled on a decent phone and we were all happy.

Hefty and I was drinking in the Ticuan bar when a friend call her. She asked me if I wanted another playmate. Does a one legged duck swim in circles? Hell yeah! I asked Hefty if she was big, and she said that her friend has a big ass. What the hell? Why not? Call her in for duty! When her friend arrived, the words "big ass" had a whole new meaning! Her ass was the size of a Mack Truck! I had no idea that stretch pants could actually stretch that much. It was like she was doing a stress test for a fabric company. I nicknamed her "Heftier."

After getting a big bucket of beers, we were about to head to the room. But first, I needed a couple of big shots of Patron because I wanted to be numb during the upcoming activities. Hefty, Heftier, and I got to the room and it was game on. Beers were popped opened, clothes were flying off, and fat layers were free to move around! Both of the girls went down on me and rotated cock and balls accordingly.

Hefty decided she was going to mount my face, and I was OK with that. Heftier climbed aboard and stated riding me hard. At one point, I could not feel my legs. Heftier was having a blast bouncing off me, and Hefty seemed to be having fun as well. Thank god for a king size bed, because we consumed every inch of the bed.

Now from experience from my first time in the DR, I had no plans on them switching positions; damn near died doing that. So when Hefty wanted to mount me, I just called Heftier up for some nice wet kisses. I kept her big ass in check. As they left I gave Heftier some pesos and then Hefty asked me where was hers. Duh, did you fucking forget the new phone? Ended up throwing her out.

As I sit here all battered and bruised, I wonder how I get in these silly adventures; but those thoughts pass quickly. I'm going to have some great stories for my grandchildren!

It would be foolish to think that you are immune to the visa rules. If you are here for longer than 72 hours you need a visa. Period. It cost less than $25. What's the issue? You never know what can happen to you in Tijuana. Its always better to be safe. I would be more concerned about members advocating to break the rules.

Hola Amigos, thank you so much for your great posts. Hopefully I can contribute to the forum as time goes by. For the moment, I would appreciate any info about clubs, hotels and escorts in Tecate.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Real question is how will anyone know how long you have been in Tijuana? For all they know you just entered Mexico a few hours ago. It's not like they ever check people walking into Mexico and even if you drive in they rarely stop and check you. Even if they make a record of every license plate that goes through, that still doesn't mean it was you driving.

I am going to Tijuana only in 4 days and going to stay there for six days. I have USA Passport. Do I need to get some kind of a Visa stamp? I have just read this "If you are not traveling beyond Tijuana or staying longer than 72 hours, you are not required to obtain a government issued tourist card." in Brockton O'Tool's Tijuana Guide. If I need to have that card where and how can I get one? I appreciate your help!

Roger

No visa required, if you plan on being south of ensenada, or be within the Tijuana region for an extended period of time, better to get a tourist card, but seriously, no one is going to check you on that in Tijuana.

If you feel absolutely compelled, the oficina de gobermen right after you cross the turnstiles and down the stairs to the right will give it to you.

Just remember to pay the (roughly) 30 bux and get it stamped by a bank before heading back,

Surrender that form at the same office before crossing back the border
