My turn to be an idiot. What's a border crossing card?

ooops!
passport CARD.... not the passport but the card.

Obviously, either the card or the passport will get you back. However, I recall there being a thread here recently debating what the Mexicans will
accept for providing you with FMT. I recall it being a little hit and miss. Reason dictates that the card would be acceptable. That being said, you
know you won't get hassled carrying the passport. So, maybe a little bigger, but it won't potentially cause a stir at migracion.

yeah, carry the passport to get the 6 mo fmt. carry the card when you have the fmt for 6 mo.

Bingo! Have a great trip. Unfortuately, I'm not going to be able to head down until late June. Not my cup tea weatherwise, but I'll live with it.
