FM card at Mexicali


Any ideas where the best place to get the travel card when crossing in Mexacali? We'll be headed south through Gonzaga Bay all the way to La Paz.

Thanks

That is excellent Sancho... Ken did a good job showing the INM office at the main Mexicali border.

Gorgekiter:
At the border is the only place in Mexico* to obtain the tourist card, look for the office with INM on it. You must have a valid passport!

* without violating the rules by driving too far south or staying too long in Mexico.

Getting it further south than the border could cost you a fee of up to $100 dollars. That is what happened to our amigo edm-1 when they arrived at Guerrero Negro with only one tourist card. His wife wasn't able to get one at the border because her passport was expired, so they took a gamble that they could get it at the checkpoint at the Eagle Monument near Guerrero Negro... they did, with the fine.
