Difficulty Of Mexico Visa For Thai?

Mexico City is the ONLY option you will find. You will be able to get a visa but a LIMITED MOVEMENT VISA. Once you get to Mexico City, you can hop to TJ, but only if your lucky. They are looking for potential border jumpers even there. The Visa you get is a limited visa and has restrictions about going to Baja. A friend described in great detail what happened and it was to say the least a very negative experience. He was able to get to the border town. When denied a plane ticket from one airline he went to the next one and so on until he was able to get the plane tickets from Mexico City to TJ. If you have any problem in TJ the person with the limited movement Mexican Visa can be detained or worse. He was trying to bring his future bride across the border illegally. He didn't make it. Further more he tried to cross illegally with his future wife and was caught by the border patrol. If you are caught in the no mans land between borders you really have no rights. Because technically its not the USA OR Mexico. You can be detained for a very very long time. He was, for over 4 months where as she was just deported back to Mexico the same day. She had to make her way back to Mexico city and then back to Thailand alone. With lawyers fees and plane tickets etc.. it was a VERY expensive mistake.

Ouch!!

But, for what it's worth, my Thai wife's Mexican visa has no notation about "limited movement," just says "ordiaaria."  Good for 30 days, issued September 2004 in Portland, Oregon.

And never used as no Mexican official available at the border crossing to stamp her in!  Still got three days down Ensenada way with my sister & BIL.  And, as another poster posted, lots of the locals turned to Sunee as the interpreter!!  Good luck!
