¿Necesito un vehículo permiso para México?

Si usted está conduciendo en la frontera con México, como Tijuana, Mexicali, Cuidad Juárez, Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo o Matamoros, entonces no necesita permiso para su vehículo. Esto se considera una zona libre o Frontera. Generalmente, la zona se extiende aproximadamente de 20-26 kilómetros (aproximadamente 12-16 millas) hasta llegar a una ubicación de la Aduana/Banjercito (puerto o cabina)

¿Qué hay sobre los permisos para Sonora, Puerto Peñasco o Baja?

Usted no necesita un permiso de vehículo si viaja específicamente en Baja, o en algunas zonas de Sonora, como Puerto Peñasco. Por favor ver el mapa de arriba y comprobar en banjercito (enlace más abajo) para asegurarse de que toda la información está actualizada.

¿Puedo obtener mi permiso de vehículo antes de salir de casa?

Sí. Usted puede solicitar en línea a través de Banjercito. Sin embargo, todavía necesitará parar en uno de los lugares contemplados (seguir leyendo para conocer más sobre esto). Lo que usted esta haciendo, es limitar la cantidad de tiempo de espera en línea, puesto que ya se han presentado la mayor parte de su información antes de ingresar a México vía Banjercito. Debe esperar 10 días hábiles para procesar esta solicitud antes de la emisión del permiso.

¿Cuántos días antes puedo solicitar este permiso?

Esto se conoce técnicamente como un permiso de importación temporal, recuerde que es un permiso temporal. Proporciona un tiempo adecuado para entrar al país con su vehículo registrado Estados Unidos o Canadá, previo a devolver el vehículo a su lugar de registro (Estados Unidos o Canadá) en general, puede solicitar desde 180 hasta 386 días, dependiendo del tipo de Visa. También puede solicitar un menor número de días, si lo desea. Algunos solicitan 180 días con la intención de salir, para luego regresar otra vez, antes de la fecha de vencimiento de su permiso, evitando de esta manera este proceso otra vez.

Costo de su permiso de vehículo

Aproximadamente 56 dólares por vehículo. Para el costo y el tipo de cambio actual (Pesos a USD$), vaya a Banjercito (darle unos momentos para cargar), ya dentro del sitio, usted puede elegir su idioma de preferencia, Español o Inglés (Inglés) en la esquina superior derecha de esta página.

Si eres un Ciudadano mexicano viviendo legalmente en los Estados Unidos o Canadá y luego debe proporcionar uno de los siguientes documentos:

  • Residente permanente tarjeta (extranjero residente).

  • Certificado de naturalización.

  • Pasaporte (no mexicano).

  • Tarjeta de pasaporte.

Si usted es un extranjero a México, entonces usted tendrá que proporcionar un pasaporte o tarjeta de pasaporte y el documento oficial expedido por el Instituto Nacional de Migración (Instituto Nacional de inmigración).

Depósito de una garantía para su permiso de vehículo

Las siguientes cantidades se aplican como un depósito o “Garantía” para el gobierno de México para la importación temporal de su vehículo a México y se basa en el año de su vehículo. Se puede utilizar una tarjeta de débito o crédito, emitidos a su nombre. Este depósito se devolverá a su cuenta después de que el permiso del vehículo se cancele y debe darse previo a la fecha de vencimiento de su permiso. Algo importante para recordar si utiliza una tarjeta de débito.

Año modelo del vehículo
2007 y más adelante $ 400 USD
2001 hasta 2006 $ 300 USD
2000 y anteriores $ 200 USD

Cancelación de su permiso

ESTO ES IMPORTANTE. Usted debe cancelar su permiso antes de la fecha de caducidad de su período. No hacerlo implicará un largo proceso para cancelar el permiso ya EXPIRADO. Tome nuestra palabra y no lo tome a la ligera. Usted perderá su depósito (garantía) y la posibilidad de que no se le permita regresar a México hasta haber arreglado la situación (extraído de su sistema)

¿Por qué México nos hace hacer esto?

Esto se conoce técnicamente como un permiso de importación temporal. La razón de por qué México requiere esto es simple, el costo de un coche nuevo o usado en México es caro. Realmente es más caro que los Estados Unidos o Canadá. Los ciudadanos mexicanos tienen que pagar IVA (impuesto) por una compra de vehículos y muchos no pueden pagarlo. En consecuencia, muchos mexicanos simplemente no pagan el impuesto de un vehículo importado, además sirve para tratar de eliminar la entrada de vehiculos no permitidos a territorio nacional. ¡México pierde entonces sobre el impuesto de importación que asciende a millones de personas! Si usted no puede devolver o cancelar su permiso antes de su fecha de vencimiento, automáticamente perderá el depósito que pagó basado en el valor de su vehículo mencionado.

Vehicle Permits for Mexico

ICI Mexico permit map

Do I need a vehicle permit for Mexico?

If you’re driving to a Mexican Border town, such as Tijuana, Mexicali, Cuidad Juarez, Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo, or Matamoros then you do not need a vehicle permit. This is considered a Free Zone or Frontera. Generally, the Free Zone extends approximately 20-26 kilometers (roughly 12-16 miles) until you reach an Aduana/Banjercito location (port or booth)

What about Permits for Sonora or Puerto Penasco, or Baja.

You also don’t need a Vehicle Permit if you are specifically traveling anywhere in Baja, or certain areas of Sonora, such as Puerto Penasco. Please view the map above, and check banjercito (link below) to make certain that all information is up to date.

Can I get my vehicle Permit before I leave home?

Yes. You may apply for it online through this link, Banjercito. You will, however, still need to stop at one of their locations as provided below.   What your doing is limiting the amount of time your waiting in line, since you will have already presented most of your information prior to entering Mexico via Banjercito. You must allow them 10 business days to process this application prior to their issuing you the permit.

How many days may I request for this Permit?

This is technically referred to as a Temporary Importation Permit, emphasis on Temporary. Provides the time you are allowed to be in the country with your U.S. or Canadian registered vehicle, prior to returning the vehicle back to its place of Registration (U.S. or Canada) Generally, can request from 180-386 days dependent upon the type of Visa. You may also request a lower number of days, if you wish. Some request 180 days with the intent of exiting and then returning again prior to their permits expiration date, thus avoiding this process again. (See important cancelation procedures below)

Cost of your Vehicle Permit

Roughly $56 USD$ for a vehicle. Click here for the cost and the current exchange rate (Pesos to USD$) via Banjercito (give it a few moments to load) When you land on this page, you may choose your language of preference, Español or Inglés (English) in the upper right hand corner of this page.

If you are a Mexican citizen legally living in the U.S. or Canada then you must provide one of the following documents:

  • Permanent Resident Card (Resident Alien).

  • Certificate of Naturalization.

  • Passport (not Mexican).

  • Passport Card.

If you are a foreigner to Mexico, then you will need to provide a valid passport or Passport Card and the official document issued by the Instituto Nacional de Migración (National Immigration Institute).

Guaranteed Deposit for your Vehicle Permit

The following amounts are applied as a “Guarantee” or deposit to the Mexican Gov’t for the temporary importation of your vehicle into Mexico, and is based upon the year of your vehicle.  You may use a Debit or Credit Card, issued in your name. This deposit will be returned to your account after the Vehicle Permit is cancelled, and must occur prior to your vehicle permits expiration date. Something to remember if using a Debit Card.

Vehicle Year Model  
2007 and later 400 USD $
2001 until 2006 300 USD $
2000 and earlier 200 USD $

Cancelation of your Permit

THIS IS IMPORTANT. You must, YOU MUST, turn in your vehicle permit PRIOR to it’s expiration…period. Failure to do so will entail a long drawn out process to cancel the permit AFTER it has expired. Take our word for it and just don’t do it. You will lose your deposit (Guarantee, above), and suffer the possibility of not being allowed to return to Mexico until straightened out (removed from their system)

Why does Mexico make us do this?

The reason why Mexico requires this is simple, The cost of a new or used car in Mexico is expensive. Actually more expensive than the U.S. or Canada. Mexican citizens have to pay IVA (tax) on a vehicles purchase, and most cannot afford it. Consequently, many Mexicans just don’t pay the tax on an imported vehicle. Mexico then loses on the Importation Tax which amounts to millions! If you fail to return or cancel your vehciles permit prior to it’s expiration date, you will automatically forfeit the deposit that you paid based upon your vehicle value listed above.

Pope Francis El Paso Schedule

Leave a reply

Mayor Oscar Leeser of EL Paso Texas announced today the itinerary for the El Paso Texas leg of Pope Francis visit.

According to Mayor Leeser at a news conference today at the Catholic Diocese pastoral center, this has been a huge undertaking for the 19th largest city in the U.S. Mayor Lesser emphasized that “Every department head has met regarding the Popes visit and expressed the cities readiness.”

Some 450,000 attendees are expected to witness the Popes first visit to the El Paso-Cd. Juárez area. For those not able to attend the festivities and Mass in Juárez, then the next best thing is to join Pope Francis in El Paso’s Sun Bowl, where his Mass will be simulcast. There will be no Mass and no communion at this venue.

Christian entertainers Tony Melendez and the diocesan choir will perform under the direction of Peter Kolar. Tickets will run $10 for parishioners and $15 for non-parishioners through he University of Texas (UTEP) box office. El Paso’s Sun Metro bus lines will play a large part in the transportation of thousands during the event, but the schedule or routes have not yet been determined. Next Tuesday El Paso’s City Council is scheduled to discuss this topic.

For more information, you may go to Twonationsonefaith.com Or, you may call in EL Paso (915) 747 – 5234.

Port of Entry Schedule for Popes Cd. Juarez Visit

Leave a reply

It’s getting closer and closer. Less than a month when Pope Francis scheduled arrival to the City of Juárez (Cd. Juárez) this February, the 17th.

With attendance estimates at 450,000 you might want to start your travel plans if you wish to see or hear the Pope in person!

Pope Francis arrival is scheduled at Juárez own Abraham González International Airport. From there he is scheduled to travel and to visit the prisoners and chapel at the Cereso state prison. Roughly a 25 mile human chain is being implemented to shield the Pope for his procession to Juarez.

From Cereso the procession for the Pope and his entourage will then proceed to the local Fair Grounds known as El Punto. An alter for a Mass has been built for the scheduled Mass.

If you are planning on using the local Juárez city bus line, you had better make certain that:

1. Your bus line will be in service that particular day
2. Arrive early in order to find your place prior to Pope Francis arrival. You will be one of many thousands who will be making this pilgrimage.

These are the current schedules of the Ports of Entry that border El Paso Texas. ALL of them are scheduled to maintain a 24 hour pedestrian and Passenger lanes. Commercial lanes are subject to a different schedule.

El Paso Texas Port of Entry

Bridge of the Americas
Ysleta Port of Entry
Tornillo Port of Entry

New Mexico

Santa Teresa Port of Entry

The 3 Texas Port of Entry’s are closest to the Juárez Fair Grounds where the Mass is scheduled. The Santa Teresa New Mexico Port of Entry acts like a loop that goes around Juárez and reconnects to the Chihuahua highway that goes directly in front of the Cereso state prison. This allows you to miss what is generally a lot of traffic. Would assume the traffic is going to be even greater on the arrival day for Pope Francis.

If you are planning to take your U.S. registered car or truck, you need to purchase a Mexico Tourist Auto policy. Your U.S. car insurance is not recognized in Mexico. We would love to help you.

U.S. Health Insurance recognized in Cuba?

Leave a reply

Now airlines are given the go ahead, up to 110 flights already, from the U.S. to Cuba.

Does Cuba recognize U.S. health insurance? We don’t know. We haven’t located any news about this very important issue. When visiting Cuba, is not the time to find out.

If you hear of anyone who knows the answer to this question, please let us know, including the sources. We also need to know whether we can use it in our Blog.

Who knows, it might help really help someone.

We generally stick to the subject of Mexico, however, when I saw this, it peeked my interest. That and the fact that anyone could have visited Cuba by traveling through Mexico the entire time we (U.S.) had a travel blockade for decades.

Let us know.

Confirmation of Popes visit to Cd. Juarez next year

Leave a reply

The City of El Paso Texas is all abuzz about Pope Francis visit early next year on a schedule that places the popular pontiff in Cd. Juarez between February 12 & 20th of 2016, leaning toward Juarez being the last destination on the itinerary.

According to public information about the trip, he is tentatively scheduled to visit Ceros Prison #3, an unnamed Seminary, and possibly even a border crossing into sister city El Paso Texas.

One of the primary themes to the Pope’s visit is to address the polarizing immigration issues that face both countries.

For more on a series of aricles and information regarding the Pope’s upcoming visit (in Spanish) check it out by clicking on this link: National Catholic Reporter

If you intend on visiting Cd. Juarez or El Paso Texas during Pope Francis visit, you might want to begin searching for hotel rooms now as more than a million people are expected to witness this rare event. If you need information regarding the required insurance for your U.S. or Canadian Registered vehicle, please visit us at mxici.com

Bridge from San Diego to TJ, the Cross Border Xpress

Leave a reply

Since first making news in early 2014, the concept is now a reality.

Saving hours in international crossing times, as well as hooking up U.S. citizens to cheaper Mexican air fares, the Cross Border Xpress is now open!

This pedestrian bridge is the first to join a site with a foreign airport.

The bridge is currently free until the 18th of December. Then tickets will go on sale for $18 each way, with long term parking, at least on the U.S. side, at $10 a day. Long Bridge wait times, and lower air fares to and from TJ were two factors driving this project.

Tijuana airport passengers may cross within 24 hours of away air travel, with TJ arrivals permitted to cross within four hours after landing in TJ. To use the CBX skywalk bridge you must present an airline boarding pass. You may purchase your tickets online at https://www.crossborderxpress.com/tickets

Obviously those using this wonderful bridge aren’t going to need the Mexico Tourist Auto or the U.S.A. Tourist Auto, but when traveling anywhere out of the country you should seriously consider the International Health & Accident. Click here for more details.

Pope Francis confirms scheduled visit to Cd. Juarez

Leave a reply

It’s official. Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Cd. Juarez, which is located directly across from El Paso Texas.

Sometime between February 12th and the 20th of 2016, the Pontiff stated that the Papal visit to Cd. Juarez is the last of four scheduled visits to Mexico, something he wanted to do as far back as last September.

According to the El Paso Times, “Juárez officials estimate that as many as 2 million people from the United States and Mexico may travel to Juárez to see the popular pontiff. The visit would be an economic boost to hotels and other businesses in the region.”

Juárez Mayor Enrique Serrano Serrano urged Juarenses to prepare themselves and invited them to open their homes to family members from out of town who plan to travel to Juárez.

Mayor Serrano said all of the municipal gymnasiums will be open on the day the pope visits and will be used as shelters for visitors who cannot find a hotel room to spend the night. Local hotels and motels, including those in El Paso Texas, expect full occupancy.

It does not appear that El Paso Texas will be on the list of scheduled visits to the border region, but is expected to host many who make the trip.

If you want to see Pope Francis, and not have to spend a lot of money or time to do so, then this will be an excellent opportunity to do so. Make plans today.

If traveling by car to Mexico, visit here to view what is needed to cross into Mexico and return to the U.S.

Ready Lanes users cross faster into the United States

Leave a reply

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has undertaken a new directive to better direct the thousands of vehicles that use the four major ports of entry along the El Paso, Cd. Juarez.

This will allow the thousands who commute the opportunity to greatly reduce their wait time on the bridge. Anyone who has “parked” on the bridge can well attest, that this newest procedure may well be the best idea to come along since the tortilla.

Pope to Mexico! What you need to visit Mexico.

Leave a reply

It’s somewhat official! Pope Francis intends on visiting Mexico, preferably in the coming new year.

It was also mentioned, though not confirmed by the EL Paso Times newspaper, that Cd. Juarez may be on the Popes itinerary.

Our local Catholic Bishop, Mark J. Seitz, is said to be “cautiously optimistic” about a visit to Cd. Juarez.

What a marvelous opportunity to witness this world event. If you plan on seeing the Pope while he is in Mexico, then you have to plan for your visit to Mexico.

If you are traveling by car, and the border area is on his itinerary, then the requirements are very simple.

* Everyone must posses a valid Passport from their country of citizenship to return through U.S.
* The driver or operator of the vehicle must posses a valid Drivers License from their home country
* You must posses an auto insurance policy from a legally licensed and authorized Mexico insurance company (Mexico does not recognize U.S. auto insurance)

If you intend on viewing Pope Francis if he travels to Chihuahua, CHIH. then you will be traveling into what is termed the interior of Mexico. The requirements are the same above with a few additional requirements:

* Everyone must posses a valid Passport from their country of citizenship to return through U.S.
* The driver or operator of the vehicle must posses a valid Drivers License from their home country
* You must posses an auto insurance policy from a legally licensed and authorized Mexico insurance company (Mexico does not recognize U.S. auto insurance)
* You must purchase a vehicle permit at roughly the 26 kilometer checkpoint if traveling from Cd. Juarez to Chihuahua.

Upon returning to the U.S. from Chihuahua you must, and this is really important, you must have the vehicle permit removed, no exceptions. If you do not, then your name is not removed from their entry computer system and the next time you travel into Mexico, it could cause you real headaches.

We would be delighted to answer your questions, comments or concerns.
