Residente Permanente and U.S. Car
Was wondering what's going on in Baja with U.S. plated cars and permanent resident holders? I've heard a lot of conflicting reports. I will be getting
my permanent residence card in a few weeks and don't really want to get rid of my U.S. Car.
I live in Cabo. Thanks

Nothing is going on.
But, in Cabo it's not necessarily the same as in "Baja" and neither instance is representative of what is really going on in the realm of federal laws
governing PR's.
This - IMO - is the reason for conflicting reports. Reality vs legality. Also, RT vs RP - the former may, the latter may not. But they can.

If you're talking about the requirement for RPs to import their car that does not apply in Baja YET and may even be on hold on the mainland.

The law states that a Residente Permanente can't have TIP on their vehicle, thus a TIP is not required in Baja, so a permanente can drive a U.S.
Plated car while in Baja? I can't find a specific law stating this that isn't tied to a TIP.

Everyone does it. Don't worry about it.

Jesus Christo, Someone has to bring this up every month! What is it about "drive on, don't worry" that you hosers can't understand. It's really
annoying.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Baja13, welcome to your second day on this forum!
As you can see, you are liable to get flamed for trying to find out what the law is. You may also get flamed for not trying to find out what the law
is, so there is a balance of sorts.
Don't be discouraged, there are all types posting here, and someone may direct you to the correct answer...if there is one.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
