    FMT Sonoyta

    The FMM can be obtained and paid for online and stamped at the 21 kilometer checkpoint south of Nogales but I recall someone verifying that it couldn’t be done in Sonoyta recently. https://www.mexperience.com/your-mexican-tourist-permit-fmm/

    Need advice about traveling from Nogales to Hermosillo....

    That highway is constantly being renovated but is usually always driveable since on the sections under repair, the traffic is diverted to the opposite side which at that point is temporarily a two way, one lane in each direction.
