FMM
Hola,
going to san quintin to fish with my son and five year old grandson crossing the border at tijuana.
will be in san quintin for a total of four days and am wondering what the fmm charges will be PER PERSON.
also, since i'll be paying for it at the bank, will they accept U.S. dollars ?
I thank you in advance,
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

As DK points out, ask for the free 6 nt/7 day
fmm, however Mex Immigration at TJ may tell you that
you don't need 1. I have heard of them balking
at issuing the free fmm, they probably don't want
to use their forms if not getting $. It is a bit
confusing to me that Mex Imm at G Negro has
apparently been issueing fmm's at their office
which last time I checked was a bit so. of SQ,
but I hold on to the 72 hr. reg

Different, but Simple
To help clarify the issue, a "free" FMM was my girlfriend's experience when she made a quick trip down to Baja Sur to visit me, "free" and "FMM" being
the operating words here. There are a few strings attached.
As is her personality she appeared at Inmigrado with a smiling face, presented her passport and requested a visa. As he filled out her visa she
replied directly to his question "How long will your visit be?" with, "Five days, officer."
He then smiled at her, stamped her completed tourist visa and with a "Welcome to Mexico, Senora!" explained that if she were planning to be
in-country less than a week's time she did not need to pay for her visa, but she still needed one in her possession.
He completed her visa application, stamped the entry time and date and graciously handed it to her with the instructions that if her vacation were to
last longer than 7 days, she should go to an immigration office and simply pay the fee. They would then re-stamp her visa.
