Lukeville Crossing and Paper work
I have reread and read as many posts as I can find on here and this is what I have concluded; Park on the USA side of the border and walk across to the immigration office to get a tourist visa ...
Forum Discussion
Here are a couple of them
FMM = Forma Migratoria Multiple; which some people erroneously call a tourist visa but is actually a tourist permit (A visa would be stamped into your passport,North Americans don't need a visa). As it's name indicates, it is issued in multiple flavors, depending on why you're going to Mexico and what you are going to be doing. The one we are talking about is the generic Tourist type which is good for 180 days. Cost 35$
TIP = Temporary Import Permit: this comes in two flavors, a 180 day permit for vehicles and boats, and a 10 year permit for RV's and other mobile camping units. You can only have one of each type! There are other types but these are the ones affecting most of us. Don't remember the cost of the vehicle TIP but the RV one is about 55$
Banjercito = This is the nickname for the Banco Nacional del Ejército Fuerza Aérea y Armada, or translated, the "National Bank of the Army Air Force and Navy". Some people refer to it just as "Bank of the Army". Almost all federal transactions go through the Banjercito.
Hope this helps.
PS, I think the prices may have gone up recently.
