Okay, yes.. INM should be open the same hours as the border, but there was a shorter time when someone was there with a cash drawer to take the
payment there... Thanks for clear answers!

PLEASE CONFIRM the follow (or give better details), gracias!:
1) Stay in right lane as you go into the final sharp/ south bend...
2) go to the right of the metal dividers and into declaration parking (on the right)
3) INM office and bank desks are both inside the building on the right, next to the parking.

What actually happens at the border can be waaaay different than "official" government answers on website or phone numbers. So, anyone who gets an FMM
at Tijuana border please post your experience.

Yes, still awaiting info on immigration open hours. We usually cross at 6 AM, so wonder if they are open at that time if anyone has experienced
immigration before 9 AM as previously posted. We'll still cross at that hour in a week and a half, and post our experiences, but hope for some recent
info before.

Went thru today. Parked at Migration lot on the right and went inside, but the Baja 1000 guys I came thru with on Monday just pulled thru the regular
lanes and pulled over to walk to the office. Filled card out, walked 14 feet to Bank, then back for the stamp and I was outta there. Sorry, I
didn't ask the hours of operation! Paid in US dollars - $24

1PM. I'd guess they do 9-5 roughly - hopefully more than that though -- like the old border. Sorry I don't have more info. Good luck.

Thanks Ateo, I guess without more solid information I will try to cross around nine. Is it possible to get this done in Ensenada?

Can't believe no one has passed thru immigration before 9 AM. Still awaiting some certainty of immigration hours at San Ysidro. Gonna find out
myself when we cross at 6 AM on the 27th, I'll consider reporting back given wifi at GN. I'll bet DK, who lives so close to the border, could run
down and back at 6 AM and let us all know! Whatta guy David!

Vista. Sorry!

Not everyone who goes through the gate needs to deal with immigration. That's probably why there arn't a lot of answers to this problem.

Right... and a whole lot never bother with the FMM nonsense, even though they may be in Baja more than 3 days or if they go south of Maneadero.
If people don't read the Internet or books, and just drive south for a trip... there is NO SIGNS or other stops for foreigners to tell them what is
'required'.
In the 80's and earlier, there was a big sign and booth, south of Maneadero, where tourists would pull over and go get a tourist card... it was free,
and easy!
The booth closed down... and eventually re-set up at the Eagle Monument, 400 miles south.
There never was a booth at San Felipe.
The whole FMM deal is really sloppy and perhaps only utilized by a fraction of those who technically should have one.
If Mexico really wanted everyone to have one bad enough, then they sure don't have a way of showing it by making the process easy... ever since they
began charging for them in mid 2000. Now, a big step up was when they allowed INM to collect the money, last year... because having an open bank at
the border just wasn't always available.

Ok David, just trying to give you something to do, raining up here on the Central Coast. Also trying to bump up this posting to snare some info on
immigration hours. We do have the prepaid, brand new issued FMM (just a week old) so don't need the bank. Just like to be legal. Had an accident a
few years back, nice to be legal. Vagabundos clearly stated the FMM must be returned at the end of the trip and had an address to send it to if not
returned to immigration (like there's a place when crossing back). I know, I know, probably just thrown away, but our car permit for a trip on the
mainland was on the computer and we got caught returning to Mexico mainland and had to endure correcting that (no fine).
