Posts: 571I di a super dumb thing with FMM permit handling
Arrived super early in Nuevo Laredo at 9 am Wednesday morning. Drove up the the Citev building and walked into the left wing to obtain a 5 day FMM card. When digging thru my car trunk, found an old FMM card from months ago, and randomly thought of one time guard mentioned the card does need to be turned in.
Proof that I'm not hoarding them and trying to stay on their good side. You know. Diplomacy.
So to stay on their good side, appease USA-Mexico relations, walked up to desk and asked for 5 day permit and showed them an old card they could mark as returned and discard. Instead this happened.
Sir, this card expired April 3 it is now August 4. You overstayed your visit in Mexico! You have to pay the full 6 month price of 575 pesos before I can issue a replacement permit! Cash or card?
Neither, that's just trash. And I didn't over stay, I returned to Nuevo Laredo at 11:30 pm, your office was closed for the night. (Last I checked they're closed 10 pm-6 am).
He insisted the FMM services is 24/7, and we argued for a bit about show some hospitality and let me spend my visitor dollars in MTY and*not be scared off by BS fines.
After we came to conclusion that I wasn't paying the fine (he probably made up) he TOSSED my passport in my general direction told me to buzz off.
Chanced it went to Monterrey anyways. On eventual return trip to Nuevo Laredo, bus was boarded by Mex agent, was an older guy I pretended to sleep face turned away and he never bothered me and hopped back off bus.
MORAL: If entering / exiting via land, fewer headaches to just toss the FMM card.
QUESTION: Did they expand hours to 24/7 like he claims? Because if so,*am looking at a Mex flight would fly out of MTY 11 am so if there is late night FMM card night before in Nuevo that would be super helpful right about now.

Posts: 227Request for Info Re / Nuevo Laredo
Bbond / Others:
I am moving back to San Antonio Sept 1 and was wondering if you could give me the lowdown on what's happening over there in Nuevo Laredo. Heard there were several shootouts on the 9th with several dead. I have also heard that there are more bars open in La Zona. Do you recommend against going to the Zona for safety reasons at this time? How about even coming to the downtown area of Nuevo Laredo. Your candid opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Posts: 2119Nuevo Laredo will maintain, at least for 15 more days, the restrictions imposed by the state government on Covid-19.
In the decree published yesterday in the Official State Newspaper, the current measures are extended, until at least July 31, among which are the sale of alcohol -in warehouses, supermarkets and convenience stores- allowed from Monday to Friday until 8:00 at night, on Saturdays until 3:00 in the afternoon and on Sundays as "Dry Law".

Downtown is very slow also during the week. Picking up on weekends. Jarochos hasnt seen a large crowd since it reopened. The larger crowds were in malinche and safari.
Sad to say, the hotel and outcall in NL is pretty dismal. There are a few, but I haven't found anything I really liked.
BTW, I've lived in NL since 2001. I do think the shooting and violence is a little exaggerated. Not saying it doesn't happen. But in just over 20 years I have only seen personally one time.
I was eating at the applebees and shots were fired on the main street in front. The manager hurled all people in the restaurant back into the small area in the back for about 15 to 20 min.
I have heard of shots being fired in other place from different people quite a few times.
I just made a round trip a couple weeks ago, NL to Monterrey, then to Tampico. Then back to NL. I used the bus. Didn't see any problems. I was wanting to go back because I had made.
A lot of personal contacts, but this situation about the NL to Monterrey highway spooked me a little. But I read all the media in English and Spanish. It looks like right now, personal vehicles are.
Being carjacked on the free road. But still may be better for me to go to Reynosa then straight to tampico to avoid the highway for now.
If anyone elses knows any more about the highway situation please let me know.
