Work in California Live in Tijuana?

Question

I'm taking a job in san ysidro CA, and i was wondering how hard it would be to live across the border in tijuana while working there? how long does it take to get through at the border? i know some people do this so i was wondering..

Answer 1

depends what time you cross. my husband and i go to tj all the time sometimes at night it takes us 2 hours. there is a pass you can apply for that you cross very fast. you have to have a pass for each person in your car, you can't have a record or a dui or anything. it's called a century pass. good luck.

Answer 2

My mother in law does it. A lot of their neighbors do it too. It's a lot cheaper there. It can take between a half hour & an hour to get through the border. It won't be hard if you have your ID & your birth certificate.
