I came through in June around midnight during the week and found the Tijuana visa office at the border closed.

Next day I went to the office at the port in Ensenada where I had to pay the one-day fine mentioned above 50 pesos plus to have the girl in the next door office fill out my paperwork at $7 per person. There was no one in front of me and it still took 45 minutes.

It wasn't the end of the world, but it felt pretty lousy. The guy at the counter wouldn't believe the visa office in TJ was closed.


Hey Joel-

If the office is closed which is normally the case when I cross at 4am, you need to go to the old office. It is located next to the pedestrian entrance into Mexico.

In other words, if you are facing the immigration office go south (left) and then through the walkway. Turn right and walk north towards the US. You will see the office just before the gates. It's about 3-400 yards away.

Hope this helps.

Zac

I have personally never heard of Validating an FM3. Unless you got it in the states, and then entered Mexico with you. You have to have it stamped at the point of entry.

I have traveled from Rosarito beach to Cuba 3 times with mine, and it has NEVER been stamped or " Validated "

Each trip took me through Monterrey.

Maybe someone in Baja is pulling a fast one on some of you.




Have a Baja Day
