Bus Travel Mexico, Cross Border

Central America Cross Border Bus

Tica Bus

Crossing borders on the Tica Bus through Central
America can be convenient. You stay on the same bus
and only get off briefly to a custom check were you might
pass your luggage through an x-ray as the inspectors look
for the taxable items that you failed to declare, or illegal
goods.
You present your passport, (*secure you visa) and then
board the same bus for the remainder of the trip.

Caution:

Don't transport fruits, meat, plants, and, (obvious) drugs.
See David Rice the Venezuela welcome
Drug sniffing dogs are in use at border crossing check
stations and at check stations within the US border and
within Mexico.
Watch your luggage at the border check station.- stick
with your bags and follow them through the x-ray and
check stations.
Keep essentials in your day pack and valuables such as
your passport, visa ATM/ credit cards, camera, laptop
and money on your person.

Tica Bus (scedules and fares) crosses the Mexico
border at Tapachula Chiapas and Guateamala and
crosses several borders as it travels to Panama City.

North America, Bus Mexico Across US Border

Tufesa Bus:

Tufesa Bus Line runs luxury first class buses in the US
and Mexico and they make the cross border trip.
They serve bus routes from Salt Lake City, Las Vegas,
NV, and 16 California cities to Guadalajara, Mexico with
stops in major cities along the way.
They cross the border at Nogales Mexico.
The Tufesa bus bound for Guadalajara stops at its
Nogales, Mexico terminal for a half hour. The terminal is
over a mile away from the actual border where you get
your visa.

Visa / Tourist Card

If your stay in Mexico will be longer than 72 hours and you
will go south beyond the border State of Sonora or
beyond Baja you should get the 180 day visa, often called
a Tourist Card. (*visas are not required of foreign visitors
for short stays or stays in the vicinity of the border)

Two Workarounds:

. One way around this is to apply for a visa at a Mexican
consulate well before you reach the border. Large cities
in the US will have such consulates. The consulate in
Tucson AZ does not issue a visa.

If you are with a group it is not a problem because others
in your group can make sure that the driver waits at the
border crossing while members of your group secure their
visas.
If you are traveling alone, however, it can be risky to leave
all your luggage on the bus while you go into the
immigration office to get a visa. If there are lines, it could
be a delay and you would be depending on the driver's
good faith to wait for you.
A way around this would be to buy a ticket to the border
only, (Nogales in AZ) Leave the bus and take all of your
luggage with you. Get your visa at the border crossing. (6
month visa 260 Pesos)
Take a $7 USD cab to the Tufesa station, about a mile
beyond the border, buy a ticket and re-board the bus if it
hasn't left or one of the many buses going south from two
bus stations in this area.
This is the safest way to both secure your luggage and
save your ticket price, although it hardly makes for a
convenient cross border trip.

Bus Across the Border:
Bus Lines that serve Mexico actually have
routes that cross the US, Mexican Border.
Others cross the Mexico, Guatemala border.
These bus routes offer convenience to travelers
by making the crossing of borders safe and easy.

or Culiacan from Nogales, Mexico Main Bus
Station right next to the new Tufesa station.

have options.
