How did he walk into into TJ without a passport? They make you get a FMM when walking. Driving? Not necessary.

Direct deposit. ooops. didn't see you up there Chuckie.
Another option .......the SY entrance is very near the Foreign Book. They'll cash almost anything.

Lighthouse keeper?
He sounds more like a foghorn.

Reading the OP post, he did say he walked across a yr. ago,
last Oct., when the new Mex Imm bldg opened was when all
peds entering TJ were required to get some form of fmm.
Other crossings, Mexicali for instance, APPARENTLY, allow
day visitors to go in without an fmm. Wonder how many
tourists driving into TJ get an fmm for the few days visit?
Not sure I would consider TJ safer than the US

The original poster did not ask for help, just advice! If I had useful information that has not already been covered, I would post it, but we have no
indication that he is even following his own thread.
I hope his life take a track that allows him positive choices.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I'll try a few with my opinions:
Mex bank account.......no. Bank NOB and use Mex ATMs.
Car..... buy a Baja Beater in the states and get a US license. A Mex plated car will require a Mex license which can't be used for driving a US
plated vehicle.
Learn the local bus system.....Micros.
Passport....for sure. There's a passport office in Chula Vista. go in and talk with them.
Work in Mex ..................no idea what you do, but there are a lot of legal controls on the issue.
Safety............vigilance is a must. Don't take your comfort zone for granted, and watch who you befriend.

I so agree with the NO Mexican bank account. fee upon fee upon surprise fee.
I bet he can get the passport in TJ so he doesn't have to walk across and then not be able to re-enter (without passport).
Welcome to Bajanomad.
NOB BTW is north of border
