Vehicles & Customs

Yes, we have done it recently. Annually for the last 35 years, through all the changes.
Until this year, because we are applying for our Permanent Residency, we have purchased the TIP on line. That way we don't have to wait in line at the border, or even stop. We also make a run to Tijuana, walk across and get our FMM. Specify 180 days. There is no connection to the vehicle at all. The FMM automatically expires when the time is up, and that's it. At this time, and who knows for how much longer, FMM's are hand written, usually by the person who wants it. It's possible, but don't see how the number and the vehicle would be connected. I thought the vehicle deposit HAD to be paid by credit card.
