What hours is the border open to get a perment to go to mexico?

The border is open 24 hrs a day. If you FLY to Mexico, you need a passport. For now, if you drive, you only need a birth certificate and picture I.D. Stating next January, you will need a passport for any means of travel to and from Mexico. You can get a tourist visa good for up to 180 days at the border crossing. The cost is about $20.00.

The border is always open. They said in 2007 you need a US passport to get back into the US, but I believe you can still cross back this year. It depends on how long you are going to be in Mexico. whether or not you need a Visa.

The border is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are under 18, you need a notarized letter from any parent(s) who are not accompanying you there with dates of travel and their permission for you go there. You will get a tourist card at the border. Make sure it has the correct amount of time that you will be in Mexico or longer. If you lose it or overstay your visit, it is very costly to change or replace. You will not need a passport unless you fly or go by boat. Next year, that will change. Everyone will need a passport to come back to the USA. I've found it easier to have a passport anyway. You'll get less hassle from Mexican Immigration if you have a passport.
