Based on what you're saying it sounds like your passport hasn't expired yet though. You've just sent it in for renewal. You also already bought a 180 day FMM that was still good. Wouldn't necessarily expect you to be hassled in that situation. Even with you not having your physical passport.

My PP is out for replacement. And the -stopped- me on foot from entering on Thursday.

Even with my other paperwork, cards.

They eventually let me in, no FMM required either.

Hello all,

I just got back from Tijuana. My passport expires the end of this month so I sent it in for renewal two weeks ago. Passport Card also had to be sent in. I decided to purchase the 180 day tourist paper at the border the last time I went through with my passport card hoping it would get me through during the long wait for my new passport to return.

Yesterday I walked through the Mexican citizen line, showed the guy my paper, he checked the date and sent me on through. I still have my NEXUS card so coming back to the states was a breeze also.

Just sharing this in case any of you get into a similar situation and don't want to miss out on the Tijuana wonders while you are waiting.

I have a question about changing money. Can someone recommend a good, reputable cambio? Or, if you take smaller bills (1, 5, 10) can you pay for everything from food to HK club that way?

And thanks to those that replied to my question. About a week ago about HK prices and SW prices. The Intel is appreciated.

There are a few money changers 3 blocks south from HK club. 20.20 was the rate I saw in late Jan, spot rate was 20.70.

Puddycat,

I think it is due to the humidity being near the sea. Here in Texas when a cold front comes through the air is dry and I do not notice it too bad. But once the winds switch back around from the south off the gulf coast even though 20-30 degrees warmer (50's and 60's versus 30's-40's) with humidity I feel it in my bones a lot.

Best just to stay inside with warm ladies, warm crotch grabs, caresses of tities and asses along with hot sexy steamy arriba sessions!

I was in Tijuana at the weekend and I was suprised at how cold it was. I'm from Norcal and it felt colder than up here, or at least the same. I was walking around near Parque Morelos after having dinner. I wonder if there is some kind of microclimate that makes it cold because its pretty far south.

By the way, Parque Morelos is cool, they have a zip line for 50 pesos ($2. 50) which looked fun, the same thing in the US would probably cost about $100. They have a paintball field as well for about $15. There were some teenage girls going to play paintball in T shirts and I'm thinking damn, that's going to hurt like hell when you get hit.

I am one of those folks who prefer not to be approached. I like to look around first before picking a girl. Only then do I want to talk to her. Luckily I have been to German FKKs enough times that I have become comfortable saying no or saying maybe later.

I agree with Lefeu. I really like to do my picking. When the waiters have brought over girls they rarely ever are someone I would choose. Although. Sometimes the waiters know who the new girl / s are and can point them out. I have had at least one experience with this and she was Amazing little body and sweet sweet girl.

At FKKs in Germany hot young naked girls approach gents all the time such that it could be annoying. Perhaps girls not approaching you in HK could be a good thing. It would give you enough time to look around and decide on who should be your bed mate for the night. Once you have decided approach her and she may just be happy to go arriba with you.

...One of our friends a legal permanent resident with green card, can he travel into back and forth between San Diego and Tijuana with Just the green card only?...

I know people who have crossed the border with only their green card, and they had no problem crossing. It may be a good idea to carry their original passport with them just in case.

One of our friends a legal permanent resident with green card, can he travel into back and forth between San Diego and Tijuana with Just the green card only? Everyone else in the group is US Citizen but we are not sure if he can join us since he has green card only. Can he travel with the just green card? Or does he need his birth country passport in addition to green card? Just trying find out info and see if anyone has experience in this.

I wouldn't rely on anything posted here. Do your homework.

Went out Friday 1130 pm. HK crowded. Had my free beer, walked around a lot and left. No girl approached me in the 45 minutes. Honestly it was a complete dud of a night. 15 minutes in tropical nobody approached me. The young guy that walked in before me I saw all the woman saying Hi. So there's definitely going to be different experiences based on looks and age. Chicago same thing. 15 minutes be nothing I left. At midnight went to club next to Chavelas in back alley. I think Valentina is name. Nothing good again. Street girls were minimal.

Thank you everyone for prompt response and helpful information, he is a a legal Permanent Residents with green cards and has passport of his original country (passport expired and didn't get a chance to renew it due to covid). The concern is should he even bother traveling with with green card and expired passport of his country of origin? Does US cross border customs care about his expired passport as long as he has legal permanent status and green card or will they prevent him reentry, that is the concern. I know this is not a professional forum for asking legal questions but we are trying to determine if we should leave him behind or not..

In contrast to what others say about not getting real answers here I understand because of all the BS on this board and guys talking about things they know nothing about. My ex has a green card and an old Mexican passport that she has never updated since she is in the US. Of all the times that she has been back to visit family or go to Tijuana she has never been asked about her passport we just show the green card and return to the US. So your friend has nothing to worry about but if he wants to bring his expired passport also he can but I'd bet money it won't be asked for.

With or without him the rest of us (5 guys) will be heading to San Diego Tijuana mid February.

Thanks again for your quick response.

My non-expert, non-legal opinion is that he *probably* would be allowed to re-enter given his legal permanent status, even with an expired passport. But that is just an educated guess. If it were me I personally wouldn't chance it, even if I thought the odds were 90-95% I'd be let back in (wouldn't want to chance the 5-10% odds that there might be an issue / complications). He really should get his passport renewed ASAP. I can say as a USA Citizen that I crossed from Mexico to the USA Twice back in 2020 with an expired passport (passport had just expired a few months prior). USA Customs scanned my (expired) passport and let me go through without saying anything about the passport being expired. My thought is that as long as there are no issues with his green card and legal permanent status, USA Customs would basically treat him like a USA Citizen and let him enter, even without a valid passport. But, again, if I had a Green card, that's not something I'd personally chance for the sake of hitting up a few Mexican brothels LOL. With all that said, you'd really want to talk to an expert for a more definitive answer, not the people on this board, as you're not going to get the best answers here.

I will assume that anyone entering USA will need a passport for identification. An American passport would allow entry. A foreign passport with visa or green card may allow entry.

Your green card holder should know the answer.

A foreigner with green card may have other entry requirements like a covid test.

Best for green card holder to do his homework. Certainly would not rely on any information here.

American citizens have a RIGHT to come back to USA. Green card holders have a privilege to stay in USA subject to conditions and conduct. He should give it some serious thoughts about going.
