Mexico Visa

According to some others in another thread, an Mexico visa is required outside of the "Tourist Zone".

Not that I doubt anyone, but I'll need seme clarification...

I checked online at the Consulate General of Mexico website
http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/visas_fmt_us_canada.htm
and it seems that a visa isn't required...

This cut from their site:
United States Citizens traveling to Mexico as Tourists


Do not need a visa. However, it will be required to present one of the following documents at the airport or port of entry into Mexico:


Valid United States Passport;
Original Birth Certificate and photo official identification (i.e., driver's license);
Certified copy of Certificate of Naturalization and photo official identification (i.e., driver's license);
Voter's Registration Card with photo official identification;
Notarized Affidavit of Birth Facts and a official identification



I'm going to do more research, but anyone who definitively knows, now would be a great
time to chime in...

All the clarification I need is the guard at the border with the semi automatic rifle who is telling me I need one.

I agree...

But I also found this...

...
In Baja California, the border zone has been extended to San Quintin, on the Pacific
side and San Felipe, on the Sea of Cortez. Sonora state is in the process of extending
it's border zone too. In mainland states along the border, this includes a 16-20 mile
zone south of the border.

As with all things baja a lot of the info you get is conflicting. In May the guy with the gun said pull over and get one, so we did. I don't know if you can count on the cop pulling you over to know if you should have one or not either. Better just to buy one. It's cheap ~$23, and lasts for 6 months.

Let the Fish and Game Commission know what you think about the proposed maps.

Be ready for December 9th and 10th.

Exactly. The consular office, US state department, Mex embassy, and discoverbaja all have different info. I'm not sure anyone actually knows, but the guy with the ammo is usually right. DiscoverBaja is selling them online again, so no more need to find "creative" solutions because of a forgotten passport.
