Thanksgiving with Rossman AGAIN - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You will need a passport to get the FMM. You can get the FMM at either at the the border Immigration office or can be purchased online. Either way you have to stop at Immigration to purchase or have it stamped. Generally a quick process.. A US passport is good for 10 years from date of issue. If you don't have a passport you better start that process now because unless you expedite it, at a higher cost, it can take a couple months. The FMM is good for up to 180 days. Mexican car insurance is also required. You will only be asked for proof of that if you are in an accident. Getting back into the states only requires a passport and patience.

If you have to wait for your passport, I would highly recommend applying for SENTRI card as well.

After the first trip to Baja with the gang, you will more likely go back.

Hmmmmm. Can you apply for SENTRI without a passport?

You know I did not think about that when I posted above.

I checked my original application, and it asked for the passport number.

Looks like you need the passport first.

Global entry may be faster to obtain and there are more places that are available to interview. Many say you can get it faster and easier than sentries with the same benefits.
