If your vessel is of foreign registration, and it measures at least 14.5 feet in length, you must obtain a temporary import permit valid for 10 years to enter any port in the country.

You can get the temporary import permit in person at any border crossing if your boat travels in a trailer or at any arrival point if your arrival is by sea.

To obtain the temporary import permit online, go to www.banjercito.com.mx/registro-vehiculos/# to start the process.

If you have questions about the process, or want to replace a permit that is still in force, contact the Banjercito Office in Mexico City at (55) 5328-2329 or (55) 5328-2344 and their bilingual staff will answer your questions.

If you visit a Reserve or Protected Natural Area, including any of the Pacific islands of Baja California, you must pay an access fee to enter that park.
