fdt Please correct mi if this is incorrect, but I was told that you can do a Temp Importation on your car, even in Baja, and this is valid as long as
your are legal in Mexico, with a FM2/3 thru all renewals. The Temp Importation paper and decal is your permit for the car to be in Mex. You used to
have to notify Banjercito at renewal of FM3 time but that requirement has been dropped.

True, your "Calidad Migratoria" determines the length of you cars stay, be it FMT, FM2, 3.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

At the Banjercito office near the Customs office at either Mexicali entry and I suspect most other entry points. Need Visa or MC in the same name as
registered owner of the vehicle, registration, and your FM?. They put the hologram decal on your vehicle and give you the paperwork.

I'm already here. and the car is legal without an import. I've done car import into the mainland in the past but this sounds like a different thing,
similar process. does it have to be renewed every year? and can it be done, say, at customs in Sta Rosalia or La Paz? I don't really want to drive
back up to the border. gracias.

It's the same Temp Import as you do for the mainland. Believe you can do it at La Paz or Sta. Rosalia as you would before getting on the ferry. The
latest I've here as I stated above - it's good for as long as you are here legally - including renewals of FM?.

on the mainland we always had to take the car out every six months. I had tourist cards then. are you saying that with the temp import and my FM3 I
don't have to do that border run drill?
I've wanted to drive down, from Phoenix, and take ferry over from Guaymas. Sonora only pass apparently has to be returned in six months to km22
there. please correct me if I am wrong. so with the temp import, IF it is good for years, I could do Sonora/ferry run without having to turn in temp
import pass?

Correct if you have FM3/2.
Know nothing about requirements of the Sonora Only permits.

Last December I drove through Nogales to Guaymas to the ferry and needed no "pass", "importation" or anything else. Only if you go further south past
Empalme do you then need one.

interesting...no pass? have they given up on the Sonora only pass? that would be great. I'd like to use the ferry but didn't want to have to take
the car back up that way within six months to return the blasted thing.
good news if true! anyone else do this recently?

hooray hooray hooray. now all I have to do is bite the bullet on the ferry charges. but one totalled car, and three days of road time, hotels,
meals, etc, will cancel that all out if I can get down without miles and miles of Hwy 1. could you please U2U me when they arrive and let me know
what they found on the other side. thank you.
