Best Case: they barely glance at your passport and then wave you through. No FMM issue at all.
Worst case: They ask the purpose of your trip, and then blackmail you into buying a $30 FMM. Be prepared with the name of a respectable hotel and a respectable dentist. They won't verify either.

Posts: 99First Tijuana trip
Made my first Tijuana trip on Wednesday. Thanks to all the seniors who posted wealth of knowledge here, big shout out to Captain Solo, Travv and ClownDays!!
Flew down to SAN airport, the Buss 922 and Blue line took 1 HR 20 minutes to reach the border. Total expense $2. 5 + $2. 5 ticket to reach there. Changed money and walked through the Pedestrian bridge.
It was around 7:30 PM and no line at all and was a breeze. No FMM, no questions, nada.
I came back Friday early morning and again it was very swift in the US customs check with my Global Entry.
Detailed mongering report to follow.

Posts: 12Ped East Crossing and FMM
Hello,
I have been researching the forum as I am planning a return trip in January to Tijuana.
Can anyone explain their experience with the boarder crossing and FMM? If you do need it what hotel do you normally put and do they verify?
Usually I was waived across with my passport and there was no mention of a FMM. I said I was going to the casino so maybe that's why.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Posts: 571Travel costs. CBX
Just flew to Guadalajara and parked for free on the street about 4 blocks from the Tijuana airport on US side. Amazing!
You can pay in the paid lots for $18 or more a day. Or there is a $8 per day lot that will shuttle you over about a mile from Tijuana Airport on US side.

And then, one other time, headed for Mexico City, we left our car in the CBX lot, and their fees put a big dent in our savings!

Posts: 657Good info! Additional warning.
Used my Visa card to pay for my Cascadas room about a week ago. Gave it to the lady clerk at the south entrance. She told me the card reader didn't work and I would have to use the card reader on the north side. She walked my card via the stair and I took the elevator. Got to the other side. They ran my credit card but forgot to give it back. Next morning, checked my bank and someone had made 2 charges to a Shein.com shopping site for $258 and another for about $200. Filed a claim with my bank and cancelled my card immediately then went downstairs to the desk, who then gave me my credit card. Take care. Do not make my mistake and let your credit card out of your sight! If you are told the credit card machine isn't working, pay cash rather than let them walk it to the other side! Also, only let one person handle your card. This way you know who stole your info. The bank will likely eat the loss but it is still a pain to go to the bank and replace your credit card. . . Side note, have never had this problem in Rizo.
Also, after Captain Solo's warnings in the past, I have avoided using the local ATMs and outside bank ATMs and walk to the nearby Soriana's or Calimax supermarkets inside ATMs. There are no dudes hanging around waiting to rob you there and I've never had my ATM cards hacked there. Seems safe and secure. . . FYI.

I spent a week with a seorita from Jalisco that was flying into to Cabo for a week and when we figured out the cost, it was cheaper for me to fly out of LAX than it was to get down to Tijuana, and take a domestic flight.
