Ensenada

In theory "yes" but like I said you never pass through mexican immigration on the way back into the states. As Gallo states above you are supposed to hand it in but who knows where. In my case I save it for future Tijuana trips within a 6 month period. This usually lasts me the entire Tijuana season.

Thanks guys. So really, the "where" is the question, I am inclined to think that it is the same office where I originally got the form (making an immediate right after entering the building) , because like gallo said, my name is in the system, and I want to make sure I don't break any rule per se

That is the part I am confused, when I got the FMM, they stamped to indicate that I 'entered' (with the intent to stay over 6 mths, or to pass south of ensenada)

Shouldn't they need to stamp to prove that I have exited or 'surrenderred' my FMM?

Else, why would anyone even bother to check for the fmm? Afaik, neither the policia, nor the federalis check for it

If you haven't yet paid the fee, you will need to do that also. Generally speaking, any Mexican bank can take the payment.

If you fail to turn in the document, your name will remain in their computer system and you could be subject to a fine if you return to Mexico in the future.

Ahh, how I miss the old, pre-computer days when we could do what we wanted without having our every movement monitored in some way.

No exit stamp when you walk back to the USA. WHY? You don't have to go through mexican immigration again.

The visa is good for 6 months so hold onto it until it expires.

Hey artisstyp. Where did you get your exit stamp?

Same little office coming into mexico?

Idiot at the airport told me I can get that when crossing immigration into US but that obviously made no sense

Thanks.

I just came back to san diego, so I apologize if the info is too little, too late.

Anyway as artist mentioned, the bus station is an easy 10 block walk on the main drag, any local can point you in the right direction.

My ticket from ensenada to san ignacio costed me USD 111, which is a tad pricey, you 'may' be better off going to Tijuana and getting volaris air and fly to cabo directly but check online for pricing before you do as they fluctuate quite a bit.

If you happen to have a student I'd, buses are automatic 50% off, but remember to dress comfy as it is a long ass ride.

Cabo is not that great for mongering, but if you are trying to get a mix of civilian action (nubile college chicks, or just locals) , cabo is a good destination for that.

Have fun.

Around $120 to Cabo one way and look for promotions if any by various bus services, I recall this from this summer. No promotions at that time or discount in play.

Hi Guys,

Me too I am seeking info on Ensenada like guitar freak even beyond there too. Maybe Artistty can answer this on for me too. I am also looking in to info on how much a bus is from Ensenada to Cabo. While I am talking too I am in Tijuana now. So I guess I catch the bus at the terminal by plaza viva not sure?

Any info on this post back here or pm me, Nibu.

Nibs.

No idea about Cabo but why don't you visit the Central Camionera in Tijuana and check out all the bus companies schedules and prices.

So, follow artisstyp's guidance, I took a look when I passed the linea this Monday, yes it looks like there is an office to go in and take care of government stuff, so that puts my mind at ease.

But while I was walking through the overpass to the sea of taxi, I noticed another office that looks like it was processing something, not sure what the heck that is.

And I am still trying to figure out if the banks are opened for me to make the payment, if it is, I will try to go to revolution and find one of the banks to pay.

FMM Form. Multi Entry Tourist Visa for extended stay past 72 hours in border area and 75 miles past Tijuana / SY borber for up to 180 days. Is the fee around $22. 00?

Anyone experienced the FMM multi-renewal process upon a second entry within the 180 days?

Bus travel on Christmass Day? I would travel on 24th regardless of the schedule to be safe.

Do you happen to know if the services are stopped or less frequent during the Christmas day (s)?

All mexican towns are inter connected by bus in one way or the other. The bus system in mexico is by far the luxurious and well maintained system that I have ever experienced. You WILL get to where you need to go.

If you google "mexican bus companies" you can see the routes that they offer so you have a heads up. Estrella Blanca and Tufesa are the best IMO. If you can get TUFESA to anywhere you want to go definitely go on that line. They offer platinum service.

Only the most detailed responses from artisttyp

Problem is when I head further down south, not sure if they have big bus terminals in all cities, or just random stops (say like santa rosalia, mulege, etc)
