Kaslo, last time I got one there, there was an attendant who opened the barrier for me and let me in to park right in front of the office. There was a lot of construction going on. Then when I was leaving he stopped traffic for me and let me out. Not sure how it is now because it is constantly changing. Keep an eye out and there might be someone there to let you in.

Last Sunday we entered at the new West crossing, pulled over immediately and was asked for our FMM's. We told the guy that we were on our way to the old office to get them and he responded by saying that the office is now at the new crossing. It's on your immediate left upon crossing. Lots of parking available.
My son got a 7 day free one. Asked if he had to return it upon exiting Mexico and was told no, not necessary.
I had already gotten mine a couple of weeks ago at San Luis, AND, just as we were get on our bikes to leave, the official told me to show him my FMM. I did and were sent on our way.

Thank you for the update! I should be passing through there in the next couple of days, and now know what to look for.

Wonderful news and good to hear about parking there, too.
Thank you.

Mood: Better in Baja! With wine of course!

Has anyone crossed at Calixico recently and know if the Immigration office has moved to the new crossing? We have family joining us and would like to direct them to correct location to get the proper documentation for their visit.



Is there wine?

I have not been into the new office but I believe it has moved. I have been stopped twice on recent crossings by an immigration officer and asked where I was going and to see my residence card. I suspect I would have been directed to the office if I didn't have a residence or tourist permit. YMMV.

Interesting comments about the IMM office being moved. I went through there last Wednesday and asked where it was and the guy said it was in the same location at the old crossing. Since I already had a valid FMM I didn't search for it. But I will in a couple months.

Interesting, because it is been reported to be at the new crossing now. On the left, lots of parking.

That's weird....They have definitely moved to the new building. Last time through we were towing and they made us go to the left of the big building. They checked us for tourist cards and those who didn't have them had to go in and get one.
