Need some help

Well everyone knows that I had been debating on going to Mexico when daddy edgar goes back.
I am going! But I need to know from some of you that live in Mexico, what do I need?
I know that somewhere I read that they stamp by passport and it is good for 180 days.
I need some kind of Visa right? And how do I get approved? Is there anyway that I would not be approved? I have a daughter that is not his and would she be approved?
We may live in the main city which is a port so I would try to get a job or something, what do I need to do? Help (oh yeah how much is it approx. so I can start saving?)

  2. I'm not as knowledgable as Amanda and her stuff but I can tell you what I know from personal experience. I live on a border town and as long as you don't travel - or try to travel - more than 25 miles inland, you don't need much at all. The advice I was given at first was to just get a regular tourist pass right there at the border - they have them from one day to 180 days. 180 days was only like $12.00 (u.s.) I've been here over 9 months and nobody - even the police man that pulled us over once - OR the border patrol that see's me cross 5 days a week - has ever asked for it.
    I work in the states (tx) so I don't need anything for working there. If you want to do anything besides just LIVE in Mx (like work) I'm not sure what you'll need, but the border agents can tell you.

    I do FOR REAL FOR REAL recommend getting a passport card in addition to your paper book. It's scary how things get lost or STOLEN and that one little passport is truly your ticket back to the U.S. For heavens sake get the card and carry IT with you and hide your passport book somewhere REALLY safe. AND make sure you have at least 2 copies of both somewhere in your home AND that your family back home - and in MX if you have them - have copies as well.
