- People have many questions about moving to Tijuana Mexico. I talk about what I wish I knew before taking the plunge and moving to Tijuana Mexico. More people from Southern California are looking to move to Tijuana to try and dodge the high cost of the San Diego cost of living.

Dude get to the point holy moly!
You took the words out of my mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its hard to behave yourseld in TJ. If you are lonely and bored the Zona Norte will wreck your wallet. Trust me on this.
LMFAO you’re speaking FACTS!
i wish i was in tijuana eating barbecued iguana
Wall of Voodoo
They don't sell barbecued iguana, I'm on a Mexican radio, its a song dude
I give it to you brotha, you are good at rambling and goo goo, ga gah.
Thx
@@scottybear Anytime.
Your right. The line is very stressful for someone is normal. That s why some Mexican people move to San Diego.
Dude did you get sentri? Makes a world of difference. Yes it can be difficult to cross but there are apps to help and especially Facebook groups. I'm a Califonia born lived in SD almost all my life (MiraMesa 25yrs), now living in playas de tj for 10years. Came not speaking a lick of Spanish and learned in 8months. I work in North county of San Diego. So I have a commute daily. But this life is not for everyone. I love it and live like a king. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Wow, I lived there for 5 years and had to cross just a few times a month... just way too much
What's sentri?
This guy has a great subject that I would like to know more about ,lbut between his clearing his throat and babbling I don't get any info from this dude.
Sorry for the misunderstanding...
I live in otay mesa Tijuana, and the new border crossing should help..plus there will be a charge to crossed, I’m willing to pay 20$ bucks for a quick crossing..(I’ve here the charge will be around 10-12$ per vehicle..
Like 10$ a day?
I disagree. Its a different culture. Once you learn the ropes its great. If you cant get a sentri pass then you-cross between 11 pm - 4am. I parked wk van-at last trolly parking lot.
sure it's true
Great advice
Im considering leaving but the only thing is to cross daily to and from work….the wait times are brutal
the crossing will be the reason you leave. The times I crossed was way too much.
What about leaving your car just over the border and ride a bike across to your car? Does anybody do this?
that's not a bad idea. there are some free places near the line to park.
@@scottybear So if you're a pedestrian is there ever much of a wait? Certainly the weather is great for walking/cycling almost every day of the year!
@@swilhelm3180 it is nice... I would say 60% the line is 30 mins or less. 30% hour or more... and 10% 2+ hours
Two ways to speed the crossing at the border 1. motorcycle or 2. a sentry border crossing card, you don't have to park you car in the U.S.
How far is it to the next border crossing east of Tijuana? And how is the wait time there generally? It seems ridiculous that they haven't solved this problem. Even charging a small fee would be welcome if it bring your wait times down a lot. And what about pedestrians? Someone below mentioned a 4 hour wait for walking across? What? Years ago I walked across with no wait at all.
Otay, about 10 miles. it's shorter, but I would say only a little. The wait times seem to just be growing
Times have changed. Documents and passports are checked thoroughly. Years ago, Americans didn't need passports to return from Mexico.
tijuana is good ...i live here and ... what can i say i like it....
Tj is a cool place I love it too.
@Tribe of Dan sure. Mostly safs
very safe im 47 .....
@@josejuandelfin6372 I wouldn't save VERY safe. but it's as safe as most anywhere else :)
@Tribe of Dan thank you dude
What areas should be chosen for renting an apartment?
What's the longest it ever took you to cross from TJ into US walking?
4 hours
Wow!!
@@RoadDawgLife yes that was the worse, that is the main reason I moved
was that walking across the border or driving by car@@scottybear
@@HellsHord walking
buy a motorcycle its better than sentry lane......
Feels dangerous to ride a bike in TJ
@Robert Gardea lol funny.
the comments tho 😂😂
how did you manange your banking avoiding transfer fees and atm commissions, im planning on moving to tijuana what does the average apt cost? what tips from the locals would you share to save costs?
paypal & capital one. Avg apt cost about 300, make yourown food
Thanks for the tips. Any idea how to get car insurance for covering mexico too? I want to uber in CA but live in TJ.
the better way is to buy Mexican Insurance that covers you in the US.
@@scottybear Can i still uber with that?
@@scottybear I know they require CA registration so im not sure if that works
@@whiteroseproject7207 Sure, you can have your car registered from anywhere and buy insurance in MEX that will cover you in the MX and the US
@@scottybear thanks man. Thats really helpful. I've been back in the states for like 2 weeks and it feels like an eternity. I sometimes wonder how this place manages to have any inhabitants.
¡Welcome dude! Our house is your house 🌎💖🙏 #marianosanc
thank you so nice
Making a good, informative You Tube video musta looked easy...
super easy.
What about just staying put. Getting work in TJ.?
Probably won’t pay all that much
Write you know in huge letters and look at it before not saying it.
Grocery's shopping is hard if you don't know the pesos
True
I have a question. I am traveling with a band and playing one show in TJ. I do not have enough time to renew my passport so...I have an expired passport and a birth certificate plus WA state ID, Do you think I will be ok for one night? Get back in the US without too many troubles? PLEASE let me know and and all facts DHS does not answer their phones. I very much appreciate any response!! -John
you can cross into TJ with just an ID. I know they have been tougher in the past but tourist stop coming, I have crossed both directions with no ID with no issue. BE NICE it helps :)
That passport garbage is garbage. If you're an american citizen no matter what they have to allow you back into the united states. If the law even exist when walking or driving into Tijuana its become an unenforceable law because thousands of Americans cross into mexico without a passport. Because the Mexicans allow it. They can careless what law America makes because if they honor the American law that means less U.S. Dollars come into their country. Get real. Border agents arent gonna waste their time writing thousands of tickets a day. I live there for 4 years with no passport. You'll be ok
One time about 5 years ago when I'd still get drunk, I stumbled back into the US with no ID no passport nothing,I was trashed and they still just checked my fingerprints and let me pass.
Crossing into Mexico without a passport is fine, if they really want to be anal theyll make you pay a $20 fee for not having one but unlikely. Crossing back into the US you do need a passport for faster entry but if you only have your ID or birth certificate they will make you wait in a room and take your fingerprints to look you up and it could take up to an hour or more just cuz they want to give you a hard time for not having your passport.
@@JaySkip they charge 20 bucks now and also make u buy 6 month visa for 30 bucks well the ones with the passport anyway .
You need to get to the point faster! You will lose massive viewership if you don't.
Thank you
@Robert Gardea ok
Sam Wills shut up
Liked this. But you did say “you know” about a thousand times. Lol.
Yes im getting better, look at some of my more recent videos. :) and thx again for watching and comments
Scotty Bear not to worry. We all do such things. I just got caught up on it. Lol
@Rocco Sinatra if i do 3 shots i pretty buzzed
You kno...
Now you know :)
You might want to learn how to pronounce Tijuana if you're going to live there. It's not tee-a-juana. It's pronounced tee-juana.
Why was it hard to move back to US? Why can't you just go anywhere in the US and rent an apartment wherever you'd like to go?
being in Mexico for an extended time can make it hard to raise the money to come back to the US. rising cost, arranging a time to cross, then in most cases you need a new job too. unless you plan on living in San Diego.
i guess my last question is how much money did u bring saved up before you made the move or reccomend lol I'm sure alot people wonder at some point
I didn't really save any money. I seen a renata sign for 200 (3500 pesos) then I just moved.prices are a little higher now, 300 - 400 is normal. its not hard to live here for 1000 or less a month.
@@scottybear im assuming crossing the border at night by vehicle or bike is alot less wait time I'd assume ...the job i intended on doing is early inventory 3am 4 am starts
@@robertogibbs7365 I don't have to cross. I'm an artist. I now live over in Vietnam
@@scottybear Is Vietnam generally more or less expensive than TJ?
@@swilhelm3180 Vietnam is about half the price of TJ
I want to move out there
Yeah it’s not easy :)
@@scottybear i want to move out there so that i can go to all of the XOLOS soccer games
@@scottybear i also live here in las vegas im apliying for pua i called them thurday and Friday non stop and nevert got an answer
@@ivandelosxolos1589 yes that is a cool part of living there.
You know, you know, you know. No, I don't know but you keep saying that.
Many people say you know over and over. Some suck snot over and over. Yuck.
Too many you knows.....click.
Yo tengo une question. What the fuck is the line?
the line to cross the boarder
I lived in tijuana for nine years an I hated it, never again I will ever go to tijuana agin.
where did you move to? if you want to share.
@@scottybear I moved back to California
@@edwardort7585 yes it can be a strange place
@@scottybear where I lived there was to much disturbing thing that I have never saw such as violence
@@edwardort7585 yes me too... even heads hanging from bridges.
i have been figuring out how to do this but i am Illinois resident with Illinois I.d and plates will this be big deal if driving across
No issue
@@scottybear thanks i actually just called California DMV i can register in cali with a Illinois license ...so did you have a sentri I keep hearing a motorcycle beats the border times is this true but ur video is correct that line is crazy but i intend to do inventory work which begins at 3-4am i am thinking that this will help working a 3rd shift of a part time .like 4 days a week has to be way to beat this line lol
@@robertogibbs7365 I would not recommend registering your car in California.
@@robertogibbs7365 yes motorcycle also. But again this is not as good as it sounds. I was not approved for sentri. I crossed walking 70% drove 30%
@@robertogibbs7365 also I only had to cross a few times a month at the very most
It's Tijuana not tiguana
Jesus Christ wtffff is he talking about god dam smh
Womens Prison Pen-Pals jesus that sounds scary.
No offense. What a waste of time for watching this BS...
I wanted to jam a pencil in my ear. Excruciating ramblings of a surfer dude. “you know”
How is the economy there? Where can i meet beautiful women? Is it still 200 pesos?
very good. and yes :)
It will always be 200 pesos . like a gram of week will always be $10.00
@@rokutv9422 no longer 200 p. Now between 300-400p as a starting price. Inflation and covid.
No sentri pass?
Not easy to get
Zzzz
Sentri pass = NO LINE!
Yall gotta keep that in consideration if your NOT MEXICAN
Yes
