Boat Temporary Import Permits
I have a boat in Loreto, my TIP expires in November. I would like to renew it for another 10 years. Can anybody tell me the process for the renewal.
Can this be done online, or do I need to be in Mexico for the renewal.

I just did mine in February when I
crossed at Mexicali. The agent was very clear when he explained that the permit was good for 10 years and at that time, I would need to tow it back
up to the border to renew it. I asked if I could do it at the La Paz marina and he said I could not!
It seems crazy to tow it 900 miles for a renewal. I have been told by others that it is possible to get it done at large marinas, but I've yet to
confirm that.
Good luck, I'd be very interested to hear how it turns out for you.

TIP
I have been told that there is “ a guy” in La Paz with the right connections and he can get a TIP without going to the border but it costs about
$1,000 USD.

I got mine renewed in Guaymas in Sonora without having to take it back to the border.
Call marinas in La Paz. Often they can help you with the process.

Thank you all for the replies. Later I will post how it went. Brings up another question: After 20 years it cannot be renewed, so then you can't
have a boat more than 20 years in Mexico?

I'm sure you discovered that misinformation in earlier responses notwithstanding, you can renew a boat TIP online within the 90 day window prior to
expiration. And, you don't need to take your boat anyplace to do it. I went through the process last month. My situation was complicated a bit
because the trailer I brought the new boat to Mexico on ten years ago was stolen and replaced, and the boat was also repowered with a new motor three
years ago. When I attempted renewal online I ignored the advice of the Banjercito agent at Pichelingue and tried to update the trailer/motor
information. That attempt was unsuccessful. The solution was to cancel the original TIP (still prior to expiration) and get a new one with the
updated information. That is what I did and the boat never left the boathouse at the end of my driveway in Loreto. As to the 20 year limit before
starting over, that is how the rules appear to read. If so, although I may not hold up that long, with ten years already in the bank I should be good
TIPwise for another 20

Thank you Bill! That is the answer I was hoping for as mine expires in 2 years

I was told on Friday by a Mexican citizen in Loreto, that this week the beaches will be open & boating can start again. Hopefully that will
happen and stay open!

I heard that rumor, but the same rumor was circulating a couple of months ago. I hope it comes to pass this time. In the meantime I've been fishing
out of Lopez Mateos where the rule is that gringo sport fishermen can fish on their own boats but they must use a registered Mexican capitan. To
comply I've been taking along Ruben Duran. Last week in the company of Ruben I caught my first wahoo limit of the year along with some little
yellowfin and a nice dorado.

T in TIP is for temporary, verdad?
I am surprised 20 years is considered “temporary.”
Woke!

My experience is sometimes the site works, and sometimes it doesn't. But that was like 3 years ago. I successfully got import permits for a truck
and 3 bikes to take to Sonora. But then it stopped working. You'd get to the last step and it would fail. I'm sure they have fixed it by now.
You can see the fee for boats on the right.
