I wonder, were there any INM checkpoints around Mexicali on Hwy 5 in the last several years? Not militaries that only check the trunk.


INM was reported at the Hwy. 3 jcn. next to the Military checkpoint. If no FMM, you were turned back north, 90 miles to the border. :O

We drove into Mexico today at the San Ysidro/Chaparral border crossing. At the immigration counter we were asked how long we wanted to stay (no other questions). We said "until mid-July". Agent said "180 days" and we said "thank you." Our FMMs were 638 pesos each and we paid with a credit card. (BTW this was about our 26th FMM in about 11 years. We still maintain residency in USA and are not full-time in Mx, in case anyone wonders why we are not temporal or permanente residentes)

Getting FMM that often would make a compelling case for getting PR card. It would pay for itself in about 5 years. Mexico don't care whether people with PR maintain a US residency or how long they stay there every year. Some other countries do.
