The port captain's office is on Matamoros Street.
Customs & Immigration Office is located near Marina Cabo San Lucas. Transportation is recommended and can be arranged prior to arrivals. The Immigration fee is to be paid at a bank.
Many cruisers use an agent in Cabo San Lucas, which can be expensive, but many feels are necessary. Officials do not make it easy or convenient to clear into Cabo San Lucas and it can take two days to get all of the approvals.
Obtaining a Temporary Import Permit here, if this is your first Mexican port, is reported to be straightforward.
Stays for longer than 72 hours require a Tourist Visa, which is obtained upon the first arrival. The visa (non-immigrant) costs 210 pesos (US$21). Mexican immigration officials are able to provide a visa.
