Travel Documents
For re-entering the United States, see these
requirements (State Dept.website)
- CURRENTLY:
U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport card (available in spring 2008), or WHTI-compliant document; or (b) a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.
- LATER:
As
early as June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full
requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules
require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land
ports of entry to have a passport, passport card, or WHTI-compliant document.
For travel to Bahia de los Angeles, an FMT
(Tourist Visa) is required
|
It
is required that tourist Visas/FMT's must be processed
at a Border Crossing (Ex.: Tijuana, Tecate,
Mexicali); do NOT go to the Ensenada Migracion
office to get one. An extra fee will be charged
for having it processed there since by their regulations, it should
have been done at the border crossing where you
entered.

Obtaining
a Visa at the San Ysidro Border Crossing: Open 24hrs.
|
|
At
San Ysidro, get in the far right hand lane; the "Declaration"
lane that leads to the secondary inspection area. Tell
the officers you are there to get a Visa; there is ample
parking in the secondary inspection area. There
will be a row of offices on your right. At the
end of the row, back towards the border, you'll
find the INM office. That will be your first stop. Take
your documents with you and a pen. After your
paperwork is filled out, exit the INM office and walk
down to the bank "booth" and pay your fee.
Walk back to the INM office to have it stamped
and you are finished.
