Answer 1

If you're going to be living in Mexico you need more than an FMT.  And I don't know why you would have to pay money to enter the U.S.???

Answer 2

Pay money to whom in the US and for what?

Answer 3

the only money you paid to getting to us is the fee to crossing the international bridge

Answer 4

Answer 5

See what's they said

FMT tourist permit

Tourist Purposes

If you are traveling to Mexico as a tourist, you must obtain an FMT tourist permit.

The FMT allows you to visit or make multiple trips to Mexico for a maximum period of 180 days.

The Mexican Immigration official issuing the FMT has sole discretion in determining your length of stay and may ask you the expected duration of your trip. As a tourist, you are not authorized to conduct any type of business activity in Mexico.

The FMT visa cost 210 Pesos (approximately US$19) which must be paid at a Mexican bank prior to your return to the United States.

Payment may be made at Banorte Bank branches at the Mexican border ports (except Antelope Wells) or at many other Mexican banks identified on the permit. The FMT or FMN documents must be stamped as "PAID" by the Mexican bank and returned to any Mexican Immigration office upon your return to the U.S.

Declare any goods back to US from Mexico

If you are bringing more than $800 worth of goods back into the country you are supposed to declare that information to the customs official on the US Customs Form that your air carrier gives you. You will probably be taxed on the amount over $800.

If you are bringing back cash in excess of $10,000 the good folks at the Customs department what to know about it. It is not illegal to bring more than $10,000 into the US, but it is illegal not to declare it.

Important items to declare, regardless of value, include food and plants. If you are bringing meats, fruits, vegetables, plants, animals or plant and animal products they want to know about it.

Declaring these items does not necessarily mean that they will be confiscated by the US Customs department or that you will be fined. Many items are allowed into the US but the Customs official just want to be in the loop.
