at the current time they can't track it anyway). For the rest of you ...go for it.. let me know the outcome |
Doesn't say check in/out. Doesn't say not.
The bottom line is that for those of us who live in Baja it's not a requirement. At least not one that can be enforced.
What's odd is that I've flown out of the country, from TJ, with an FM3 and never had it stamped or questioned. Also have frequently flown to Oaxaca
to visit property there with the same result.
Make of it what you will.

The only instance I have run into that requires an exit stamp on your visa is if you are trying to renew at the consolate in San Diego, they requred
my freind to go back down to the border and get his fm2 stamped before they would renew it. Once he had the exit stamp, they renewed his fm2 and he
picked it up the next day.

But not an FM-3.
Have renewed my FM-3 in Ensenada for 3 years and no questions about not having it stamped

The difference here is an FM2 and he did it in th US thus requiring the exit stamp.

So if I did choose to get my FM3 stamped when driving up to San Diego for a day trip:
- where is the office at the border where I would stop and get my exit stamp?
- where is the office on the way back into Mexico where I would get my re-entry stamp?

Well, that's the poblem. The system isn't in place to be doing this. No office...no parking...no nothing.

I think there's an office somewhere near the U.S. consulate. I had a friend who turned in a temp auto import there. Don't know where, exactly. But the
question still remains:
Why TF would anyone want to do this?

Could you imagine every FM holder that wants to go shopping in Chula trying to converge on that place to have their book stamped?

Last July the consulates in the US started renewing FM2 and FM3's. A new law was passed to allow this. This summer I am going to renew my FM3 and
upgrade to an FM2, since I now have my fideo papers in hand. Baja guy may be correct about not needing an exit stamp for a FM3, I don't know.
