Need help on the moving process to cash out my Merge balance through Skrill. Do they speak English down there (baja/tijuana)? Anybody done this and can help me out? I need a place to live temporarily, a bank account, and proof that I live there.

Careful in Tijuana bro it used to be chill back when you could go back and forth with just a drivers license. Now you need a passport and if you are white there is a chance you can be kidnapped for ransom or even killed in some weird ritual.

There are some young hotties in the brothels though that they bring in from the rest of Mexico. Gotta find the right place though because some are definitely better than others only $60 a throw.

I'd recommend going further south into Baja either la Paz or fly all of the ways down to Cabo. It is much more chill and absolutely beautiful.

I was thinking about this lately too, it's hard to get money off Merge for US players.

Things I know:

-You need a Mexican bank account, 2+2 threads said a peso account is easy, but a USD account requires a visa or something and is difficult to attain? So there will be conversion charges(USD>peso>USD). Someone said you need 1k to open an account(I or they could be wrong).

-Lots of Americans in Tijuana(Rosarito is said to be better/richer/safer?), lots of US poker players too.

-You need a lease(you rent by day, week, month, year depending on the leaser).

-Some poker sites require a utility in your name(stars&FT do, dunno about Merge), which is hard to get because supposedly only land owners can do that?

-You can negotiate apartment prices in Mexico.

-Summer time prices go up, the shorter your lease the more expensive rent is.

-Lots of furnished apartments(look on craigslist).

Search 2+2 because there are a quite few threads about moving abroad, bank accounts, mexico, etc.

Also, if you have the money, there some websites out there that will handle everything for a fee(I think like 1k? Don't really know)

http://www.pokerrefugees.com/faq is one such website.

http://pokerexpats.com/ is another.

I dont know much about these sites but I thought I would throw that out there.

pokerrefugees cost 1650 for their service, not including flights, which is probably worthwhile. I'm seeing how hard it is to do on my own. If not, I'll probably go with them.

lol @ traxamillion, I live very close to the boarder and that aint true about Tijuana but still has a point on going to Cabo.

U guys are seriously going to sit here and try to tell me Tijuana isn't a shithole? I get patriotism. I'm from the USA but I'm not going to tell you Cleveland Ohio is a great place.

Tijuana is nothing but brothels, bars, little casinos, and pharmacies. With a bunch of hustlers everywhere trying to sell everything from donkey shows to guns to drugs. Well... Anything. Maybe it is urban myth mostly but I know at least some of the kidnapping stories are true. Crew of college kids go over the border to party and the blonde kid doesn't make it back... But his mutilated body is found. Or put in a car made to look alive while his body is stuffed full of cocaine. Those are probably exaggerated stories but I know something similar to the first one is true at least. There is no denying kidnapping is a problem in South America and Mexico whether it be wealthy nationals or foreigners.

US military soldiers stationed in San Diego are not allowed to go to Tijuana. That should tell you something; there is nothing 'wholesome' about the place. It's all dirt, vice, and illegal activity.

And don't get me wrong I love the place just keep your head up if you roll down there cause it can be sketchy and remember to keep a decent bit of dough close at hand because you can bribe your way out of anything (and will sometimes be forced to pay a bribe even when you have done nothing). Every cop is some degree of 'corrupt' just the way it works down there.

The Tijuana of Norway is up in Finmark, a lot of shady shit going on there, including reindeer killing, prostitution, cults, rituals and crazy shit like that. This one time, many years ago, was driving away from there, some kids were playing in the snow, drawing letters using blood.

@ traxamillion
I live in tijuana I was born in Tijuana
you are being exaggerated
if it is true that there are areas of conflict
as the area north of the city
that is full of prostitution and drug sales
Also there are good areas to live
that are cheaper than cabo
and closer to USA
15 of 20 min to the border
this place is just a few meters from the international border between Tijuana and San Isidro

cabo is really good too
