FMT'S (VISITOR CARDS)
We have these available for members only. There will be short times the office
will not have them available because the process requires that we submit a report
and account for each and every numbered FMT for approval before Mexican Immigration
will release another batch. Please allow two to three weeks for processing. The
price is $23 plus a handling fee.
FMT's AT TECATE: it is easier to park on the U.S. side,
walk across to Immigration in the building on your right and use the
bank across the street. Again, Always ask for the maximum
of 180 days.
FMT's AT TIJUANA: Stay in the far right
lane under the sign “For Declaration Only”, park and walk
to the Immigration office in the long building to the right. Obtain your
FMT form there, fill it out and go to the nearby bank to pay for it.
Then return to the Immigration office to have it validated. Always
ask for the maximum of 180 days.
