Immigration at Gurerro Negro
First let me say that I can never remember if the first r or second r in Gurrero is the double one but I hope that my buddy DK will chime in and set
me straight.
I was asked for my immigration papers by a very polite immigration officer at the 28th parallel today at about 4:00pm....I wonder if he would have
remained polite if I didn't have any.
This is the first time in 15 years that I have been asked for my papers.....fyi.....dt
btw: my spell check says both ways of spelling it are incorrect...I must have pressed one for English on my spell checker

While my trips into Baja Sur are not nearly as frequent as into Baja Norte, every time I cross at the Eagle Monument (near Guerrero Negro), I have
been asked for my Tourist Card... since 2001. Before then (a few years before), they were checked at Maneadero, south of Ensenada... but it was a
'choice' to pull over there.

I don't understand how some people get checked every time passing thru GN. I haven't been asked for my tourist card at GN since maybe 1998.

Do you get the underside of your vehicle sprayed (and pay the 10-20 pesos)?
There is an alto there, just south of the monument, the migra guy walks up first to see the tourist cards, then the ag guy collects his fee, and you
drive over the sprayers.
Coming north I have never been asked to show my tourist card, however... but others have.

The past 20 years; sometimes they check & sometimes they don't. Come to think of it, I do not remember being stopped for visa check before 1996??
I figure if I don't have paperwork I will be stopped for sure.

Need to be careful through that whole stretch.

I think the IMN officers go home about 4:30 because I've been checked if I stayed the previous night in El Rosario and hit it during the day but when
I drive straight through to GN to spend the night the office is closed by the time I arrive.

Last October got asked for mine when we drove down to Cabo from Las Gaviotas. We also had to pay for the spray that the ag guy was doing. It smelled
so it was not just water. LOL Take Care & Travel Safe--- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

Isn't the spray at GN a "donation" and not a mandatory payment??

Went through (Southbound) mid Aug and we were not asked for papers. We did have to pay 20 pesos for the spray.

It's been mentioned before, but if you look at Google Maps in GN area, you'll see that it's pretty easy to bypass the checkpoint and bug spray. Not
that I'd recommend it.

It is a tax for using Hwy. 1, since there are other roads across the state border that don't require a spray or papers inspection... and there is
NOTHING ILLEGAL about using the other roads. They cross near Mision Santa Gertrudis, near El Arco and near Guerrero Negro.
