MEXICO: Weekend expedition (Sept 8-10, 2006)

[awalter]

No sweat, i found their address and have the day off so i will be going down there later on to get one.

One question, if at last minute i talked a friend/passenger into coming with me, would he/she need one too or is just for the drivers?

Everyone needs their own tourist card. We may have to stop & pick them up on Friday, but the fewer the better RE: time.

Well, I just got back from the Consulate in San Diego and it was a fairly simple process.

A little tip to anyone going to the SD office to get your tourist visa:

I was standing in line with about 50+ Mexicans with lots of forms in their hands, thinking, wow this is going to take a good portion of my day waiting for all of this.

There are no signs or labels on where to go. The window for the tourist visa is UPSTAIRS at window # 1, not downstairs where the massive herd of people are! Once i figured that out, i was in and out in under 10 mins!

Ready to go! :sombrero:

:campfire:

Thanks for the heads up, probably saved me from being late!

Yeah, i had to tell the security guard at the locked door/gate that i needed a tourist visa, he promptly let me in and sent me to the right window. The big hoard of people outside didnt seem to like that that much!

Thanks
