I'm about 95% sure this is in Boliver's building. I hope he can confirm

do you need tourist card if going by land and returning to US within six months, or can just get that at border?

it's mexico, you really don't need anything. I've been stopped by military checkpoints many times (they have a checkpoint between my house and puerto nuevo) and they don't ever ask for ID or paperwork, they wanted me to pop my trunk once.

You can get an FMM visa as soon as you cross the border...that's a $24 tourist visa good for 6 months.

Once here, you can get an FM-2 or FM-3 visa, and the laws are always changing, but those will give you Mexican residency for 1 year. I'm not sure of the difference between FM 2 and 3, and neither are really necessary, but it does 100% establish residency and makes it easier to do things like prove to stars that you live here, open any kind of bank account at any bank, I believe you need it to get a Neteller account?, show police you're living/working here full time, and gives you a legitimate Mexican ID card.
I don't have the FMM visa. I guess I'll get one next time I cross the border, but really not worried about it.

HMMMM I would pm boliver as he is there and up and running on stars. Are you in Rosarito Beach? What building are you in? Do you have roomies? We want to create a tight poker community that helps each other out, and to chill together for all living and moving there (like me)

run better?

haha, same happened to OD. Who'd you have for an internet provider?
Cable/DSL?
I've been using a wireless 3G card so far. OD could you post here who your provider is again so that people know and can circumvent these problems hopefully in the future.

I can believe getting the tourist visa is that simple and it seems like you're supposed to have one if you plan to travel much beyond the border area.

From what I've read, the FM-2 or 3 are not so simple, esp. if you don't have a large sum in a Mexican bank? But like you say... it's Mexico.

Costs like $200 if you go through an agency and they do all the paperwork for you. Prob could get it for $100 if you do it yourself. I believe anyone can get one, you need proof of residency though (lease/utility...it sounds like same process to get back on stars as getting FM3...just verifying residency)

Hey everyone. I just moved here around 2 weeks ago and I'm looking to meet up and hang out if anyones down... I'm living out of La Jolla and pokerstars has still not approved me for play yet so I have all the time to do whatever until they give me the go ahead [if ever].

[jlevu]

Yeah skillz that's cool...I think there's around 10 of us already down here and I've met almost everyone since I got here yesterday. A few of us went to Tijuana last night actually... what's your skype? Mine is jmcfaul13.
