Thanks for the info Bob, good to know. I left Mexico one time (years ago) and never checked out ... because NO ONE showed up at the Bancjercito office after hours of waiting. (Mexicali, East crossing)This caused re-entry problems later.
I went on a Black List. NO ENTRADA. (with vehicle) Took ages to solve this.
But last time I went I checked out properly and still have my receipt. I checked out at Tijuana Bancjercito (San Ysidro).
They took a pic of my VIN, scanned into their computer. Then told me my deposit had been credited to my credit card and gave me a receipt. I haven't needed a TVIP since (only Baja last few years) but will return soon for a longer trip, so will take my TVIP "check out" receipt just in case.
Really ridiculous system that does not work for it's intended purpose.
