The 50 pesos wasn't a multa. It was Carlos' fee. I know Carlos. Carlos won't do anything for nothing. He charged my buddy 50 pesos.

I don't know, Lou. These interpretations are really getting convoluted. I can't imagine an FMT that required no payment.

It seems like you're saying an FMT is needed in Ensenada. Up till about a year ago when they remodeled the office there, it was a snap to get one.
Then with the installation of the banercito inside it made it convienient to pay the necessary regular fee. They used to let you pay later elsewhere.
Then six months later they made you go to a bank in town and return with receipt before issuing an FMT. The last time I was in there getting one they
told me that I'd have to wait 2 hrs for some reason. I says ok. About ten minutes later they called me to the window and bam, had one. They are sooooo
inconsistant. There is one hardbutt in there but if you can speak a little Spanish....

Maybe more than one. I've been in there numerous times and it reminds me of the Soup N-zi episode on Sienfeld. The slightest mistake and, "No soup
for you."

Dennis: You need to take a breath and correctly read what I said. Once again, read this slowly.
In this particular case your friend paid Carlos to fill out the form. HOWEVER, there is a FINE, MULTO of 50 pesos for not having an FMT upon arrival
the office of Immigration in Ensenada. Perhaps, maybe, he didn't see that extra 50 pesos when he paid for the FMT after he paid Carlos since he was
upset.

I love facts. 
Fact: "Multas" must be paid at a bank and you are given a receipt. This does not sound like the case described by Dennis.
Fact: I have arrived in Ensenada many times without an FMT, completely legal.

Well Larry, you need to get your facts straight also.
The building where all this took place is call CIS, Central Interagal Services, it houses Immigration, Customs, The Port Captain and a BANK. It's at
this Bank window you pay for all the fees and fines.
This is now where you go to make application for almost anything that has to do with immigration or customs in Ensenada, arriving by land or sea.
Each time you've arrive Ensenada without an FMT or FM3 or the likes and stay more than 72 hours or travel south of Ensenada, i.e. San Quentin, you my
friend are breaking the law and that's completely Illegal .
Edited for clarification

Just plain wrong. Day trippers don't need an FMT. Again, you can be in Ensenada for as long as a week without an FMT.
Do all of those cruise ship tourists, stopping in port for the day, have an FMT. I asked and they said no.

That very well could be but, that wasn't my point. My point was that the Immigration department required my friend to hire an independent, outside
contractor to fill out a form which should have been filled out in the IMNS office.

You are referring to vessels as opposed to land arrivals. You should know that with your so called
experience.

Go easy on Dennis. He is entitled to express his view. He has posted many good and humorous viewpoints in the past, (albeit this is not one of them).
I often disagree with his opinions, i.e. immigration, but have found his expressions well articulated and thought provoking. Having said that, Dennis,
here's my shot across your bow. Please understand that this is not intended to be a broadside, through the hull.
Dennis,
In my opinion, you are over the top with this one. What is irritating lots of folks here is your vehemence. Obviously you think an injustice
has occurred. When I think an injustice has occurred, I too get on my high white horse. When I see that I am a one horse soldier against a
whole army in a foreign country, I retreat. I want to save my white horse (and my arse) for another battle, principles intact. Oh, and in my next
righteous battle I will be more selective in my opponent. Not like Custer at The Alamo, "Where did all those xxxxxxx indians come from?" kinda
thing.

Thanks Tony ---
All points well taken. I tend to get a little excitable and I appologize to those who got in the way here. Mia, that would be you, for sure.
How did Buffet say it, "Good days and bad days and goin' half mad days," or something like that.
You too, Wiley. Sorry I went after you.
Seems like this thread has given Hose A a full time job. Sorry for that as well.

Correct, I have docked at Ensenada three different times and there is no FMT required. Or any other paperwork.

And you Toneart with the big horn!?
Remember the Alamo!.........or was it the...Little Big Horn!
That was funny!
There was a whole lot of Mexicans at one of those places and they really put a big hurt on those gringos as I recall, though it might have been the
Little Big Horn where some other folks got their licks in, or maybe Ensenada at the Harbor Masters, it is all so confusing. I'm going to get my ticket
punched before I hit any of those places.

The 50 pesos wasn't a multa. It was Carlos' fee. I know Carlos. Carlos won't do anything for nothing. He charged my buddy 50 pesos.
|
The plot thickens and the logic gets fuzzier. Dennis KNOWS Carlos. Dennis alleges that Dennis' buddy has been ripped off by Carlos. Does anyone
else see the number of tangents that this triade could create? What is Dennis' part in the $4.53? This could be a soap opera.

let me go.  |
How do you come up with these fantasies of yours?
Does Ensenada give only local city driver's licenses?
