Tijuana Immigration office


Anyone know the hours of operation at the border to get FMM? 24 hours?
Do you drive thru crossing and then park and walk back or get Card first and then drive thru? Thanks again..

How about late night Money Exchange?

Park first then walk through the building to INM

There are a couple of ATM's in the SAT/Aduana building where you can get pesos

Stay in the far right "To Declare" lane, pull into the parking lot in front of the building, walk through the building to the INM office. There are ATM's for pesos in the lobby.

After you get your FMM, pull out of the lot then merge with the traffic going through the gates/red-green lights

get your pesos in the USA at the last exit BEFORE you cross...best rate

don't assume your debit card will work across the border...take cash in pesos

Get it before you cross. Stay to the right after the big right bend, go straight to the blue building, then park in the parking area. The office is kind of in the center, south through the first building, then left (east) to the small office.
