Do I need visa to cross the U.S. border to Mexico?
No visa is needed for crossing to northern Baja California Mexico (Baja Norte). On trips into southern Baja (Baja Sur) a simple Tourist permit should be obtained. These Visa cards are very easy to obtain and inexpensive. The time it takes to be issued is usually only a few minutes. They may be purchased at the border or from a Consulate office. Canadian and U.S. Citizens returning home to the States only need a passport or a Driver’s license and either a birth certificate, naturalization certificate or citizenship card to enter back into the U.S.
