Yanked as in, I have your passports in my hands, follow me, stand in line, passports in back room. FMM's required no matter where, Mexicali or San
Felipe. We'll see where this goes.

In my experience it's near impossible to return a tourist visa at any border crossing in Baja. From the mainland, it's easy and required.

A stamp for Mexico mail is a few cents more... call or email Discover Baja and they will know answers for both your questions.

I would think if the Mexican government truly and genuinely cared about collecting FMMs from those exiting the country by foot or by vehicle that they
would make a really easy provision for doing so.

It sure depends on where you are crossing back to the
US, as to the ease of turning an fmm in. Some are just
impossible. The TJ/San Ysidro crossing back, I wouldn't
know where to begin. The ped Mex Imm Office coming
into Mex is inaccessable from the TJ side.
The newer crossing into Mex by vehicle at
TJ, I'm not sure you can drive there from the TJ
side. Mexicali is a bit easier. There was a post here a
while back, that Mex Imm uses the fmm's just for statisical
purposes, they obviously do not place importance
on getting fmm's returned from tourists leaving by
vehicle or by foot, International flights are another matter

Maybe if and when they maintain a believable data base on these, it might behoove many to actually turn the FMM back before crossing the border.
But, please indulge me again on the idea that if Europe, with dozens of nations and dozens of languages can allow unfettered passage, why the heck
cannot the three nations of North America? I really do believe that most of the NSA's border patrol division is a make work project.
Any idea how much productive time and how much gasoline is just plain wasted because of the border situation?
