If you’re crossing from Arizona into Mexico and you need to get your TIP in Nogales (temporary import permit) take a right on KM 21.  You will see a blue sign that says Parking for permits.

There’s a banjercito office where you can start the process. Payments and the rest of the process should take place in here.

If you need more information on requirements, costs and other information to acquire your Temporary import permit please read our main article concerning this issue.

This procedure is relatively easy and fast it should take you more than 30 minutes. We emphasize that you read our main TIP article so you don’t come without all the required documents and fees.
