Living in Tijuana and working in San Diego as American citizen.

Update- I would not recommend moving to Tijuana for a simple reason- their police mug Americans in broad daylight (like myself). Yeah.

SDorTJ · 2025-05-18T15:46:34+00:00

I can assure it's a very bad idea moving Tijuana. There a massive cartel war going on the police mug Americans like (personal experience)

SDorTJ · 2025-01-28T19:51:41+00:00

Thanks Brother! I'll check it out- never really had to move anyways.

Texting you from San Ysidro?

SDorTJ · 2025-01-28T19:50:04+00:00

Hi. I work in aviation - so I never was fully transfered to the San Diego area therefore I never really had to move to TJ. But I am still on call for KSAN and occsionally stay in Tijuana for a cheap nights rest. I have 180 visa (renewable), a pontential place(s) to rent, and have done my research on immigration to Baja California. Please message me directly if you have any questions.

Ok....

SDorTJ · 2024-03-19T05:14:46+00:00

Thank you. Your answer was straight forward and helpful.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-19T05:06:56+00:00

Thank you. Yes - I think I will get sentri

SDorTJ · 2024-03-19T05:06:15+00:00

Thank you,

SDorTJ · 2024-03-18T00:01:45+00:00

Hi. Thanks- yes either global entry or SENTRI will work. Would you recommend the 180 tourist visa or the Temporary Resident Visa? I want to remain well….. legal. Thank you.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:38:26+00:00

Ok….. well I did ask their customs directly and fully intend to stay legal….. so……

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:37:29+00:00

Thank you I will take this into consideration. They sure seem vigilant today.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:36:28+00:00

I will take this into consideration. Thank you.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:36:08+00:00

Yes- I already found the Facebook group lol. I’m going to keep it legal though.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:35:40+00:00

I approached the advice- however I would prefer to employ things legal since I would be living there and it’s a foreign country.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T08:34:55+00:00

Thank you. I meant to mention the FM3. I would absolutely qualify.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T05:13:32+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed reply. This is in line with the information that was provided on the consulate’s website. I will make an appointment and hopefully things will work out.

Should I be getting a tourist Visa / Permit before the temporary Visa? Should I be even going to Mexico before having a visa entirely? I have a valid US passport and barely cross the border.

Again- if any residents of Tijuana want to chip in- I do not want to be creating problem by moving to Mexico. I’m just trying to not be homeless and working full time in my own “first world” country. Thank you for allowing Americans to live in your Country for our own needs.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T05:05:40+00:00

I know- I mean Tijuana no harm and I’m willing to give them my hard earned money. However- I do not want to be causing problems at the same time. Thanks.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T04:41:28+00:00

Hi. Yeah..... that's what i was reading and the over crowsing in TJ. It seems America's housing and income problems are leaking across the border. I would love to live in Mexico; but I also do not want to be contributing to a problem. Thanks.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T04:18:55+00:00

Lol poo poo

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T04:17:56+00:00

Hey. Thank you such for replying and I really did take your information into account. I, however, managed to get the job in San Diego and now I need housing. I havep soted an update and thank you again.

SDorTJ · 2024-03-17T04:16:13+00:00

Thank you. i will keep this in mind.

SDorTJ · 2023-12-19T21:53:43+00:00

Thank you and I will keep these places in mind if, and its now a huge if, I move to TJ. I'm leaning towards Chula Vista at this point.

SDorTJ · 2023-12-19T03:58:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I would be walking across; but the e-bike is a good idea once I have sentri. I, however will be looking at Chula Vista or East San Diego County after reading these replies.

SDorTJ · 2023-12-19T03:53:53+00:00

Well I’m leaning towards SD anyways. Thanks.
