Banjerito in Baja ?
Can sombody say if there in a Banjerito in the south of Baja? We would like to leave our bikes there for 10 month and come back and get a new TIVP for our next journey.
Do you have any idea where we could getthis done?

The TIVP is max 180 days. Bike has to leave country before that or lose deposit.

Yes, the only Banjercito office in Baja Sur is in La Paz at the port.
Where are you now? Do you already have TVIP for your bikes ... or not? I'm not sure if you can get your deposit refund at Banjercito in La Paz or not ... they may force you to go all the way to the border ... not sure on this.

As you probably know, you DO NOT need a TVIP for Baja and there is NO record of your bike when you enter Mexico from USA. You only need the TVIP when you travel to Mainland or come into Mexico from the South.

If you already have a TVIP then normally you would EXIT Mexico within the 180 period in order to get your deposit refunded back to you.

BUT! You can turn in your TVIP up near the border, then return to Baja and leave your bikes there as long as you like.
Once the TVIP is cancelled, you are FREE to do what you like with the bikes ... in BAJA only. Many Gringos store bikes and cars in Baja for YEARS! It may be possible to turn in your TVIP in La Paz Banjercito office, I just don't know. ASK! They are friendly enough!
Let us know the answer!

Thanks
but we have already a TVIP, we are Germans and shipped the bikes to Veracruz.
Now we are going to Porto Angel and we are hoping to leave the bikes somwhere in Mexico but if that is not possible we are driving them up to Texas, but Baja would be much nicer for us, since we have not seen it.
But I reckon we don't have enough time to ride up to La Paz and try it, because by that tiem we don't have tine to ride to Texas..
It is just too uncertain so I guees it is better to find out for someone who has more time

We have just called the Banjercito in La Paz and ask them if we could turn in our TVIP there and they said no. This can only be done at the border!
Just FYI

Thanks for verifying this! No surprise at all. The whole TVIP system is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Oh well, make the best you can!

If you are riding North, to USA and if you have the time ... I would recommend taking the Ferry from Topolobambo (near Los Mochis) over to La Paz, Baja and then ride up to the USA through Baja.

It's a MUCH NICER ride than riding on mainland Mexico. I've done both routes several times, Baja is really worth it. But if you must go to Texas ... then it is quite a distance out of your way.

If you do ride on mainland, maybe divert to see Copper Canyon? Interesting terrain. Highway 16 is a great road. Very long.

That's good stuff! Let us know if you can get your TVIP there!
I've been to the Migracion office in Ensenada (same general location IIRC) but did not but use the Banjercito services there ... in fact can't remember if they had them there when I was there 8 years ago. We only got tourist visas there, no TVIP.

Note that there is a main Banjercito/Aduana office in Tijuana, located right at the border. Of course migracion is there as well. All located in the new, modern office buildings built in the last few years.
