guess its a personal choice. Spoke to owners of place we are staying at and they said in 40 years they been living and driving there, they have never been asked for FFM. And told us not to buy one..

so confused.

Shari the owner of the house we are staying at told us it is best to get the tourist visas right after you cross the border.

Better safe than sorry especially in Mexico.

I know.. Just confusing as some say get it and so e don't as its a waste.. I was told unless your in TJ or Ensenada its not worth it as you won't get stopped and asked for it.. I rather save money and spend it on the locals verses paying for something that is rarely checked.. I will start a poll here

My vote goes to getting it. If you get stopped without it no idea what can happen but I don't want to find out for a lousy 25 dollars.

I vote that in Mex you are presumed quilty until proven innocent(much like here in the USA). Not always a wise thing to believe hearsay........

Why risk the consequences of not having a tourist visa?

Let's refrain from any more of these posts please.

This trip is going to be great.

Camping is only 5 bucks a night.

Great yellowtail, calico and halibut fishing.

Come on down with us and remember to bring your tourist visa!

Baja or Bust!

to each their own I guess. Just came back from Bahia de los Angeles last night.. Stopped three times at military checkpoint and spoke to local polica in ensenada and we asked cause we are stupid I guess, lol... Was told they don't check unless you pass through guerra negro... Sorry but if the people enforcing the rules tell me I don't need it then not spending the money..

again to each their own, do what you feel is best.. The locals living there 10 plus years told us the same thing.. Some almost laughed when I asked if we should of gotten Tone. here you go, first hand info..

Bahia Asuncion is past Guerrero Negro.

I think the visa is good for 6 months.

Plenty of Mexico trips planned.
