Dan M Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Given the current state of fluctuation in laws in Mexico, does anybody know for certain whether the temporary import permit (TIP) can be renewed for another six months if the US plated car is driven back across the border into the US (maybe at Laredo TX?) when is the first TIP is due to expire?

pappysmarket Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Well one thing is for sure: You will get lots of amateur opinions on your legal question posted here on a chat board. Print them all out and then throw a dart and that's your correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Well, Pappysmart, here comes an amateur opinion.... There is no Mexican law that says one “can’t get another TIP after a 6-month stay has expired and the TIP cancelled”. There are occasionally some anecdotal evidence that “a particular agent at a particular border crossing” has either hesitated or refused to give out another TIP..... the border of Belize and Yucatan comes to mind. This is usually solved by ‘waiting for a shift change’ to come back to that crossing or just drive to another crossing to get one. If Forums are good for anything, they serve as ‘trumpets’ when something out of the normal starts happening. If getting the second (or third or forth or) TIP became a persistent issue these Boards would be full of those tales of woe. I haven’t even heard the subject brought up for years. Dan M, the TIP cannot be "renewed".... one just turns in the about-to-expire-one (this is a MUST) at the border and gets a new, fresh one. Smart folks don’t do this 5 minutes apart!
