So I followed Your Link to check for Myself what Vehicles Show up as having Temporary Import Permits!
The Aduana reports that I do not have any vehicles in Mexico which is true ,however they also have No information about My Motorhome which has a Ten Year Permit which according to The Date shown on the Document doesn't expire until April 2020!
We Sold Our Old Motorhome in 2010 here in BC ,I had attempted to turn in the Hologram which expires in 2016 ,unsuccessfully because I had misplaced the Original Document ,My Colour Photocopy was not acceptable and Yes I had the Vehicle At the Mexican Border ! The Young Woman at the Border told Me to toss the Hologram and Photo Copy in the nearest Basura! She ran My Passport through Her Computer Terminal and claimed that I had nothing registered!
I attributed that situation on the fact that I had a new Passport with a different Number.
It would appear that this is the situation once again. The PP Number clearly recorded on the TIP doesn't match My Current PP!
So if You are a Canadian with a soon to expire 5 Year Passport it will be out of sync with the Mexican 10 Year TIP and chances are this will remain the case well into the future!
