Mexicali 1 or 2?


Going SB at Mexicali for the first time and 1 in our group is buying their FMM online. Must select which crossing and I haven't a clue as to which the west one is (Hiway 111). Website says Mexicali 1 & Mexicali 2.
Anyone know?

Turns out it doesn't matter - as long as the city is correct you can name any crossing on the application. I need to learn to read ALL the instructions.

This came up before, and yes, it is #1 (the original border there and at the end of CA 111 in Calexico).

Stressful?


I crossed at Mexicali west/1 last year on a Sunday before Thanksgiving. The total crossing time, including getting the FFM was about 15 minutes. They even filled out the form, and took my payment right there.

It was good to stretch my legs!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

No, no... You STILL must stop, get out, walk to the officer, and VALIDATE your online FMM (stamp)!!! There is almost no saving of time and hassle by getting a pre-paid one online as it is no good until stamped when you enter Mexico.

Sorry Greg!
