The holidays are just around the corner and many people are traveling to Mexico by land. Avoid long lines and process your “Temporary Vehicle Import” permit. In other words, in these festive days, if you are going to visit your family to Mexico in a car, you will need a auto permit which is temporary.
You can process this permit by:
1. Through the internet, going to the webpage of Banjercito. Keep in mind that you can process it 60 days as maximum before your trip and 7 days as minimum. It will take 7 business days to arrive to your shipping address. So the best time to process it is 17 days before your vacation.
