RVGRINGO Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 True, I forgot about Belize. So, there are even more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyco Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 There is a crazy quilt of INM policies on whether we can just turn in a Visitante visa (FMM) at a border and immediately get a fresh new 6 month Visitors permit or if we have to leave Mexico. INM offices at the Guatemala border has forced people to exit Mexico for at least a day. The INM office at the Belize border (Santa Helena - Subteniente López crossing near Chetumal) has you park on the Mexican side, change your INM Visitors permit, change your car's Temporary Import Permit, all without ever leaving Mexico. The INM offices at US border crossings seem to vary, with some requiring an overnight stay in the USA, while others process us right away for a new Visitors permit. Messy. To avoid the mess: Good Luck on extending your current Visitors permit, following AlanMexicali's advice on using the medical problem route.

modeeper Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 You must exit Mexico and reenter, getting a new Tourist Visa. Nope, you don't have to exit and reenter. You need to go to any border and walk into the imm office. At least that's what I've done four times. Sometimes you don't even have to so to the border proper. In Loredo there is an imm station 25k south on the hiway to Monterrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say I'm about to marry. Who'd want to get in the way of such a sacred day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 ETN (operating as Turistar) http://etn.com.mx/ goes from Guadalajara to Tijuana or Reynosa and is very comfortable. 32 hours to Tijuana, 14 hours (more or less) to Reynosa.

Mainecoons Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I wouldn't get on any bus that stops in San Fernando (en route to Reynosa) there was another incident where cartel gangsters took people off of an intercity bus recently. Flying to Monterrey makes a lot more sense to me from the safety point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
