Baja Tourist
Cards - Temporary Tourist Visa |
|
|
Many of
the rules for traveling to Mexico tend to change from time-to-time, and
the rules for obtaining Mexican tourist cards are no exception.
As of May 2006, these are the current rules for Tourist Card requirements
for driving your US or Canadian vehicle to Baja:
All US or Canadian citizens who enter Mexico should get a Tourist Card
if you are staying more than 72 hours in Mexico, or if you are traveling
south of Ensenada.
If you are staying less than 7 days, the Tourist Card is free.
If you are staying for longer than 7 days, then you need to pay the approximately
$20 USD for your Tourist Card at the time you get it stamped.
You will need to get your Tourist Card stamped at the border or at Ensenada
if you plan to travel south of Ensenada.
San Felipe:
If you are crossing the border at Mexicali and heading to San Felipe,
most of our customers have reported that they did not acquire Tourist
Cards and were never asked for them by Mexican authorities while driving
to and from San Felipe.
Because the rules do change, and sometimes the rules are enforced differently
in certain parts of Mexico, we recommend the following before making your
trip.
1: If you are staying at a hotel, ask the hotel what the current tourist
card requirements are.
2: You can also ask the Mexican authorities at the time you cross the
border as to whether you need a tourist card or not.
Read this page for information on the types of identification
you should bring with you to Mexico.
