I instead got back in the van and returned to USA. No problem on subsequent visits. | |

I tried again, but could not find the migration office at the border and ended up on the US side, where the US border agent told me it was nothing to worry about. So in the end, I did NOT turn the card in and the next time I entered Mexico some months later, the migration official said nothing about the old card. So basically I think you don't need to worry about the FMM unless you are flying out of Mexico, as they don't do checks at the land border with the US. | |

If you don't, you have to venture across the highway at San Ysidro to Migracion on the other side. He can still turn in the FMM in Tijuana before taking the bus. | |
