Tijuana - Post Report Question and Answers

What do you wish you had known about this particular city/country before moving there?

Morale can vary, but based upon other post reports I think it is very good when compared to before. The current Consulate management has worked to make Tijuana as good of a place to serve as possible. I wish I had known how much Mexico City seems to micromanage the day-to-day operations of the Consulate. The work (as I expected) is exhausting, and the consular cases (both on the visa and ACS side) can be very grim, but these experiences actually made for great professional development as well. - Apr 2023

It is really a transit city. There isn't a lot of culture in its appearance - no plaza or old missions or anything. It is not a place you think of being a tourist in unless you plan to visit the restaurant scene. - Apr 2014


How cold the winters are. - Feb 2014
