I've heard stories but anybody run into this?

My car registration expired 5 days ago. Registered in California. I heard they have a 30-day grace period...but will they let me drive back to America in a car with recently expired registration? far shot but figured I'd ask.

Has anyone withdrawal euro check using either MB or PS?

If so where did you cash it or deposited?

I keep having to verify my MB account every other month, not sure why.

yes. got it mailed here, then mailed it to my schwab bank in houston I think...wrote "deposit" on it and it went through no problem. zero vigs.

check was issued by a german bank but came from the UK, was written in german and crazy looking but they took it just fine


FYI mobile deposits do not work for intl checks (if you were planning on using an iphone app to take a photo and e-deposit)

i prob wrote about it in more detail in banking in mexico thread

Do you have a smog check due? If not, pay the registration online. You won't be able to get the tags, but at least if you're pulled over and they check your registration, it will show paid. Plus, their late fees are horrendous and get worse the later you are.

thanks for the tip, ended up making it through

fwiw I THINK I found out today that the reason I get sent to secondary the last 6/7 times is because I have a fairly huge, heavy, and concealed speakerbox in my trunk. Coincidentally that's one of my go-to spots for stashing...well ...drugs

question regarding FMM visa

can i get a new one each time I go into Mexico? Curious if there are limitations.

Example, I go to Rosarito and get a 3 month lease and get the FMM visa (6 month?). I come back to San Diego and hang for a month. Can I go back to Rosarito and get a fresh FMM visa for 6 months?

Basically I'm asking, is there a way to live year-round in Rosarito via the leave-for-a-fresh-FMM-every-6-months option.

or you can not bother getting an FMT and just live down here without a visa since nobody cares

^^^True. you only really need one to open a bank account.

False.

[rzweig]

false you only need a bank account? or false you cant live here without a visa? I've been down a few months and never bothered getting a visa + still managed to open a USD bank account.

[shaniac]

False that you need a visa to get a bank account (which is he what he meant by "only...")

Edit: It's possible that you get the runaround at the bank and they tell you need a visa, but I'm pretty sure most of us opened our accounts without one.

My mistake, I read his post wrong.
