8-4PM M-F but remember when you get there from the north their time is an hour off...
so they close at 3PM TJ time
You can get a tourist visa easily there but it is MUCH easier at the border.

On July 12th we pulled up at 6:00 PM local time heading south and se?or migra met us with a broad smile and a hearty hey there ho there hi there,
based on my limited spanish. 
It is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier at the border.
There is always the bypass road.

Just like most Mexican offices---they are open when they get there and close when they can. Bob is right when he says 8 am to 4 pm. But you can't
count on it. If you have an FM3 you can get it stamped in Loreto at the Immigration Office or the Airport when you get there. They understand the
Guerro Negro office works like all government offices. I believe you have 72 hours to check in after passing GN. By the way, has anyone ever been
checked for their Visa---besides at the airport when they leave?

Jim,
Why not go legit? It is easy to get an FMT at the border. I agree with your sentiment to try and sneak in. Being citizens of the planet, I think all
borders should come down but reality has it that we must comply with existing laws. The consequenses, if caught, are not worth it. By the way, the
immigration "hassle factor" is not unique to Mexico. Most Baja lovers and livers (not a tequila reference) agree that, once you have jumped through
the hoops, the joy and the beauty of Baja is worth it.

the fine print on my lewis and lewis policy say, in TINY letters, "policy may be void without proper immigration documents for the driver".
may is a BIG 3 letter word.

are--and illegal. My spell check is in english only. Having just returned from London I know the English spell differently than we do.

I got tired of the grouchy ol' Mexican at the refurbished(you can pay there now) Ensenada office. It is very easy in TJ and they are MUCH nicer! You
can pay at a bank within 72 hrs ifn' you're in a hurry. I have paid at the banco in Sta. Rosalia.
