================================
Adventure on the Guaymas - Santa Rosalia Ferry crossing How it all
started: We came from Santa Fe via Tucson and crossed the border at
Nogales. The federales instructed us to Km 22 to get a permit for
our new car and we were prepared with all documents for the car and
ourselves. This is absolutely required if you are to take the ferry
from Topolobompo to La Paz which we have done many times in our old
Ford truck which had the sticker and permit as many years as I can
remember. Well, we traded in that truck, sticker, permit and all
last August. After two hours of discussion, copying of our FM2/Inmigrado
documents, and more running from window to window at Km 22 we were
denied a permit for our vehicle!! Why? According to customs, the
federales, and/or immigration, we have the status of Inmigrado (we
have lived in La Paz for 20 years) and we were supposed to be
driving a car with a Mexican license plate! Visitors with limited
Visas and FM 3 people were all passing us and getting permits for
their cars. If I were to get a visitor visa I would be illegal and I
told them so in Spanish. There was a public relations officer ( at
least that is what I think he was and he spoke good English and
tried to be very helpful ) who had us fill out forms and complaints.
We are not the first people to have this dilemma. Sooo! On to plan
B!
Sonora is a "hassel free car zone" according to a big green map at
KM 22. After asking 4 different officials if we could take the
Guaymas ferry to Santa Rosalia without a permit for our vehicle we
were told that this was possible. We drove on from Nogales spending
the night at Magdalena ( El Toro Hotel highly recommended ) which is
on the old #15. Then on to Hermosillo where we spent the night at
Motel Bougambilla ( also recommended) on Eusibio Kino Blvd. We like
to park where you can see the car from your room. We took our time
because we called ahead to the Guamas Ferry for the schedule and it
was departing 3 days away.
Next stop Guaymas where we enjoyed 2 days at the historic Playa del
Cortez Hotel ( the ferry schedule changed from 8 PM to 6 AM the next
morning. It is a small ferry and only private vehicles or small vans
are allowed. No 18 -22 wheelers. With a vehicle and 3 people the
third person is free. Our cost was $3700 MM ( pesos). The crossing
was 9 hours and reclining seats are avalable and Mexican fast food
or bring your own. The ferry does not depart in bad weather and we
thought the trip very smooth. For further info:
www.ferrysantarosalia.com This is NOT owned by Baja Ferries. Talk to
Diego if you call - he speaks perfect English and is very helpful.
Pets allowed and OK to keep in your car. madero2115_05@yahoo.com

a. For over 20 years we have prepared US Tax Returns for Americans
living in Mexico. We know US tax law and how to coordinate it with
the Mexican tax law. Please go to our websites if you wish to know
more: www.taxmeless.com
and
www.usexpatattorneycpa.com or download our tax preparation
questionnaire.
Remember if you own property in a fideicomiso; have a Mexican bank
or financial account or own part or all of a Mexican corporation
there are special forms which must be filed on certain due dates. If
those forms are not file or not filed in a timely manner you will
incur penalties of $10,000 or more for not file or late filing. In
some situations criminal penalties may also be imposed. The previous
lenient atmosphere at the IRS with respect to expatriates living and
working abroad is now gone. Both Congress and the IRS are convinced
billions of dollars of unpaid US taxes have been undisclosed and
they are now conducting a very serious campaign to rectify the
problem. Please email or give us a call. Thanks. Don Nelson, CPA US
