Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лют 2019
- If you've wanted to drive to Mexico but are intimidated by the border crossing process, don't be! Here's a basic "how to" video from our dash cam. Highway 15 from Nogales to Guaymas is an excellent highway, practically brand new and still under construction in some places.

When entering Mexico there is one document that you must get and two that you might need. The one that you must get is a visitor permit called a FMM. Some people call it a visa but you do not need a visa to enter Mexico, you need a FMM. If you filled out a FMM online, you must get it stamped at a customs office. There is one when you first enter Mexico on the Mariposa gate and one south on highway 15 at K21 . The permits you might need are vehicle permits, "Sonora Solo", to drive in Sonora south of the Empalme area or east of federal highway 15 south of Imuris, and "all of Mexico" to travel out of Sonora. Those two vehicle permits can be obtained at K21 and K87 which is south of Empalme about 15 miles. If you are traveling to Hermisillo, Guaymas, or San Carlos, you are in what the call the "no hassle zone" and do not need a vehicle permit. If you get your a vehicle permit at either office, (K21, K87) you must return it at K21.
If you don't need a vehicle permit at all, you should get your FMM at the office to your right immediately after entering Mexico at minute 1:47 of this video. That is because you can fill out the form and PAY for it there. If you go to K21 for it, you have to pay at the Banercito nearby, but, you will be in the same line as those paying for vehicle permits. If you are in that line at at a time that many people are entering, like Easter week or Christmas, you better have a folding chair because you will be spending hours in line. Highway 15 is almost completed at Nov, '19 so you should have smooth sailing to Guaymas, about 5 hours south.
@Hofe Thare Only border towns. Not too exciting except there is more danger if you get off the thoroughfares. With the FMM you can go 250 miles south to Guymas and San Carlos which is a US and Canadian vacation town November to June. Good fishing in the Gulf of California.
Hi, Im interested in driving my personal vehicle thru the Browns/Mata crossing and continuing 820 miles S/SW to Zihuatanejo. What am I going to need to do to accomplish this? Thanks!
I’m trying to get the FMM, And I’m going to go through Mariposa. Do you know if it’s “nogales uno” “nogales dos” or “nogales tres” I can’t figure it out.
thank you Paul for the tip on FMM at "1:47" of video. where do i stop?
Bien explicado, gracias ka'
I remember my uncle taking me across the country and I was here, it's a whole different eviorment than Pennsylvania
Nice video. Thanks. Question , I will be driving from Brownsville to Mexico city..(Curenevaca actually) isn't it possible to buy a speed pass ? Also , good are the toll roads. Thanks !! David
Does anyone know how early you can cross? I heard 6:30 but is km 21 open early too?
Thank you so much! We will be making our trip through Nogales next year on the way to Puerto Vallarta!
You are quite welcome! Glad it is helpful. Safe travels!
@@MexiGringos-kq4xq What questions did they ask you after you got the red light & pulled over? Did they search? What are they looking for?
@@MasterArmedforces They mostly are looking for Guns. Drugs travel the opposite direction , and smuggling money, well , helps the economy. Guns however are easier to get in the US and cause trouble. So they get smuggled in. They want to discourage it, but they don't try very hard. I have crossed countless times since the 80's and am yet to be stopped, questioned or searched to enter Mexico. Its not really something they bother with. All the booths are always empty when I go, I know there are x ray machines at some Pedestrian crossings, I have never encounteredd one. I would guess no one is watching the screen. I would also guess that there is no memory card in the cameras. I think it is all for show and the Mexicans DGAF.
thank you. i don't see the 2nd entrance of K21 on your video
how much did you spend in gas? was there many bathroom breaks , hotel stop or you keep going?
Lots of construction!
Hello sr did you crossed sinaloa nayarit how is safety on the road i heard about people scams sinaloa and nayarit along the road
Great video and narration. Can you do one when traveling to San Carlos next time? thank you, and stay safe.
Did anyone check your passport?
When you say "$300" for the Something to declare line.... Is the 300 figured on the items you intend to leave in Mexico when you head north again? I travel with a thousand dollars worth of surf boards, but of course they come north/home with me
You are allowed to bring in your personal belongings and luggage into Mexico duty-free and also $300USD worth of merchandise (family members in the same vehicle can combine this amount, so 2 people can bring in $600 for example). But you should have receipts in case you get stopped. I think personal items are more like clothing and household goods, but I'm not positive. It doesn't matter if you're taking things back out. We've had friends bring similar items across (kayaks, etc.) and have had no problem, but your experience could be different. And of course it can always depend on the agent you get too. I would check with people who actually come to Mexico to surf. Good luck!
thank you for
the information
could you please tell me if is possible make
a u turn before getting to mexico?
You're welcome. No I don't think you can.
If you are heading south on 15D around Vicam the locals block the highway and you don’t have the option to not pay.
I’m driving to Lake Chapala, Jalisco from Tucson, crossing over at this Nogales crossing. I will have a Temporary Resident visa and know that I still must stop and Km 21 to get my TIP for my car. However, I want to buy some pesos, probably in Nogales AZ before I cross the border, just enough for the first day or so until I can get to a real bank where I can use my debit card to get the best rate. Spending the first night in San Carlos.
Can anyone recommend a Casio de Cambia in Nogales AZ where I can buy maybe $100US in pesos before crossing??
Hi Mary. I don't have a recommendation for you in Nogales, AZ, but before we moved here we ordered pesos through our bank. We ordered them one day and then picked them up the next day. Just a thought. Safe travels!
Mary Woods we are going to Michoacán tonight, my brother has a Wells Fargo account and was able to get pesos there right away however not all of the locations have money exchange so call ahead
I believe if you go the truck crossing route then after you cross the border or right at the border there is an ATM in a strip mall buy a gas station.
Would you happened to know what time they open this Crossing or is it opened 24/7? Thanks
6am.
This border entrance is NOT 24/7
operation hours? 6am to 10pm?
To Guadalajara its like 36 hours from san francisco
This should be more strenuous with large x-ray machines for semi trucks to be examined.
Dmt mind yes because we need to deport you illegals.
Is the border open 24ours or do they close at some ours
I believe the downtown Nogales crossing is open 24 hours but the Mariposa crossing is open from 6am to 10pm or something like that. You'll have to check online.
@@MexiGringos-kq4xq than you so much
Need password to go to crossing the border to Mexico 🇲🇽 from USA 🇺🇸
Thank you! I didn’t remember a red light and green light portion last year though...it’s past the crossing I see.
You're welcome!
@@MexiGringos-kq4xq is there any way possible that my gf and I can get into nogales, Sonora and back home to Tucson with just our state ID and birth certificate?
@@MexiGringos-kq4xq we really want to go but its such a pain in the ass to get a passport and I don't know if I can even get the pass card or passport with prior criminal convictions even if they are over 6 years old, can u please help
@@angelarome5477 To my knowledge you have to have a passport to get back into the US. You can try calling the border patrol or the US Consulate.
FUCK!!!!!
Wow Mexico is beautiful. I'm afraid to take my shiny pick-up truck there because of the cartel and all.
Fuck the cartel! Its bull shit
They have a better truck don't worry
they have better cars than you
i love seeing cars in mexico, that are not sold in the u.s
I wonder if you can buy a car in Mexico and bring it into the US via a land border crossing.
what's with the whispering
Is it open to San Carlos in Fall2020
Yes.
@@AmoPerrosMás where
Hi, if I you do all my paperwork like car permits etc. online, do I still have to stop there?? Thanks
Yes.
I just walk the border to a little coffee ☕ shop but I don't go too far, my family goes to San Carlos but I rather go to California in the USA. A beach is a beach ⛱
