This is the place to obtain visas and vehicle permits and to
return vehicle stickers. . There is easy parking and room for
RVs.
There is a Banjercito - Army Bank - for you to apply and
receive your vehicle permits. There is a booth for photocopying.
When you receive your papers, put all your receipts and the
wrapper from the vehicle permit into a safe place. (We put them
into a baggie) You will need these when you return to the US. If
you do not have them there is a fine and a few hour delay for
you to return. After you have obtained your permits and visas
you will drive through an area with lanes indicating Nothing to
Declare or Need to Declare. If you have nothing to declare over
your customs limit choose the nothing to declare line. Otherwise
take the Declare lanes. When you drive though a light will
randomly select red or green. If you get green, proceed; red
means you must stop and talk to a migration officer.
Returning to the US
When
you are returning to the US you must return your vehicle permit.
To do so drive north on Highway 2 to San Emeterio.
You park, present your papers and get a receipt. Keep it. |
