Calexico Hwy 111 border crossing

Jaybo - 2-14-2013 at 11:26 AM

We leave tomorrow morning! Crossing the border at Calexico on Sunday morning. When we cross where do we go to get our FMM and pay the fees? Is there an online form to fill them out in advance so we are can expedite the process?

SO excited... :)

I believe everything you need will be on your left when you enter. The biggest problem with that entry point is trying to find a place to park. There is no online form that I have ever heard of.....

Safe travels!

Ken Cooke posted some photos of the procedure... it is on the left just after crossing through the border's red light/ green light point. It is the INM office.

Parking at the Old Downtown Mexicali crossing can be
nonexistant, I've had to park 8 blks into Mexicali and
walk back to Immigration in occasion. There is a loading/
temp parking curb in front of Mex Imm, it is often
full, I've heard but have not tried, that there is a parking
area to the right 100 ft BEFORE you pass thru the gate
into Mex, then walk ACROSS the traffic into Mex to
the Imm office, which as Pacifico posted is on the left
after you pass the red light/green light gate into Mex, if confused ask the Mex Customs Officer at the entry point
as to a possible parking spot

Easy as can be. As you cross into Mexicali stay to the left in the crossing lanes. Soon as you pass through Mexican customs you need to be way left for parking. Sancho hasn't had good luck with parking. We've not had an issue. So I guess you take your chances.
