I know precisely what the difference is and am just trying to help out a couple of travellers who are new at the game and MAY have messed up by not getting an FMM at the border. It is their problem, not mine, but I do like to help out if and when I can.
TIP is apparently no problem as last week at least it was available in LaPaz and this is their understanding too.
Problem is FMM for these two kids?? Yes, they are illegal at the moment. They know that now. No they can't get on the ferry without both a TIP for their vehicle and FMM for themselves. That they also know. They are in Guerroro Negro and wanting to take the ferry to the mainland.
Do they have options for getting the FMM. If so what are they please.
If a return to the border IS the ONLY option then so be it, but they will be rightly pissed off if they go all that way back only to find they could have got the FMM somewhere closer. AS well if they are told it IS available at LaPaz and it isn't, they will be even more annoyed (at themselves) if they then have to return to the border for the FMM.
