What is the Border Crossing Card?

According to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), this is an ideal document for people who regularly travel to the United States from Mexico.

The border zone is the line that delimits the borders of two countries, it is the area close to the border crossing to another country.

Mexican citizens or residents who have the Border Crossing Card (Laser Visa) can travel to the border areas of the United States and their stay in the country is up to 30 days per entry.

The Border Crossing Card allows citizens or residents of Mexico to cross the border for tourist trips, visit friends or relatives, receive medical treatment, business travel, and participate in conventions or conventions. It does not allow you to work or study in the United States.
