In all 3 States. 5 on the way north and 7 on the way south. Some had big campsites set up.
Federales doing vehicles inspections at the caseta's didn't seem to interested in the takeovers.
BTW, in Viacam the locals have set up "toll" booths at the large topes at both ends of town.
Just pay and go.

Just came south the last couple of days. No problems at all. Just have 50 pesos notes to pay the tolls that have been commandeered. 7 of them on the way south.

With a new passport you can circumvent the system and get a new or 2nd TIP. First you need to get a FMM turista for the new TIP. Once you are issued the Tourist permit you lose your residente permanente, as Alan posted in article 64 #2

You pay 16% (IVA) of the value LESS your personal exemption

Why not call your USA short term provider and see if their policy covers Canada?
Thanks, that was to easy. It was right in front of my nose. The policy I buy for the USA also includes coverage for Canada.

Thanks Ferret but Google is not very helpful. Neither was Bing.
Almost all USA auto policies include Canada. My Mexican insurance doesn't include the USA and Canada. I buy per day policies for for my trips to the USA. There doesn't seem to be any companies selling 7-14 day policies for Canada. Are there insurance offices near the border area that sell per day insurance like they have in Mexico?

I am hoping some of you Canadians might know the answer or point me in the correct directions.
I am a US citizen with a Mexican residente permanente. My truck, trailer, and scooter are Mexican plated. Where can I purchase a short term tourist insurance policy for Canada?

Electrika/Banco Azteca sells libertads at most of their branches all over Mexico. The price is posted on their website and changes daily. Today's price is 420p per onza.

Back again with same problem. I cannot travel to border myself. Husband bedridden. Is it possible if I sell to a US citizen they can drive it north without me? It is a 2005 Ford Gulfstream BT Cruiser. It has been stored beside our home since 2009 and hasn't been driven much at all. It's blue book is over 30,000 US. Purchased in 2006. Mileage when purchased 5,630 miles. Battery needs recharging so can't read mileage now. Will post that later.
What did you do with the motor home?

Maybe I can help you. Sent a pm with contact info

Actually, wife and I were stopped and pulled over once there in Laredo and asked how much money we had with us. When we responded, they told us to show them and count it in front of them. That was about 14 years ago. Really curious that the same thing happened later that morning at the last checkpoint leaving Nuevo Laredo. Whatta ya think?
I have been stopped twice over the years on the USA side heading south and had to count out my money. Both times I had an RV and was searched.

Any particular crossing or just random?
Nogales and Anzalduas are 2 I have heard about.
Some people try to do the online application. I have read that they are unable to complete the application because they are checking the GVW using the VIN.
Earlier this week I spoke with a man that got a TIP at Colombia for an ex U-Haul F450 box van moving to Lakeside.
As usual in Mexico, it is hit and miss. The law is decided by the person you need the permit from.

Rick this year, several people have been turned back with trucks having a GVW over 7700 pounds. Not all but quite a few have.

Truck campers do not require TIP's.

I found this subject interesting so I went to the plaza in Jocotepec and asked if anyone knew of rentals....there are no rental agencies here.....everything is done or most everything is done by word of mouth. I have pictures of two houses and info on a third. One with 4 bedrooms, large walled yard, 4 banos.....8500 mxp. A second one with a large pool and large yard, US style kitchen....5 bedrooms with 4 full baths....$800 usd....the 4th is a former government owned house that has been declared surplus and now for rent. I am told that english is spoken. None are furnished. PM me if you want to make contact.

I bought a package the other day. I cooked one of the racks on the BBQ. Medium rare, with asparagus and a Idaho russet potato with all the trimmings. It was delish.
These are the real deal. Thanks for the tip.
