Traveling through San Ysidro/El Chaparral? See where to get a tourist card at the El Chaparral border crossing (San Ysidro/Tijuana).
Visit the online FMM application or read more on how to get an FMM online now.
Keep in mind that if you obtain your tourist card before crossing the border, you will still have to stop at the Mexican immigration office at the border to document your entry date and to have your tourist card stamped by immigration officials. Tourist cards are no longer available at Mexican Consulates.
For citizens of other countries view the INM's list of Countries and Regions That Require and Do Not Require a Visa To Travel to Mexico - but DO require an FMM.
Visit INM's website in Spanish for the most updated information: Countries That Require a Visa and Countries That Do Not Require a Visa.
Previously it was believed there was a tourist zone/72 hour exemption, but this was never actually part of Mexican immigration law according to federal delegate Rudolfo Figueroa from INM (Mexican Immigration).
It is important to note that in Baja, even though you may take your vehicle to the end of the peninsula without a vehicle permit (see vehicle importation regulations) you are required to have a tourist card (FMM) in order to travel anywhere in the state.
Michelle L. is the best Client Care Specialist! I originally purchased a policy a few months ago...hen we moved to Mexico. Then, my car ended up breaking down (while visiting family in the US) So I had to cancel the policy for that one and find another car to drive back down to Mexico. Imagine the hassle!! I was so thankful that Michelle was able to help me via email with all of the necessary steps and info I needed to ensure a smooth transition on changing the vehicles on my policy. Thanks Michelle and Baja Bound!
Bajabound Insurance is the only company we use for our vehicles when we go to Mexico. They have...reat customer service and it is super easy to get a policy because all the information is already stored in the system.
Yara is very helpful and explains everything. Love working with companies like this.
