San Ysidro - Sentri Global Entry Driving Directions - Most Reliable Route

[@MikeEsfahani]

Wanted to chime in and thank you for this. Watched the video a few times before my trip, had it loaded up and ready with my passenger, and found the route no problem. It's worth noting that the overpass at 1:58 is one of several that look similar and blockage from trees can be an issue (especially the Caffeño sign). The VIA Corporativo building is a GREAT landmark.

I have lived in Playas now for a year. I sure wish you posted this back then. It would have saved me much stress and embarrassment the two times I ended up going the wrong way on a one way street. This is the route that I have eventually settled on months after moving here. This should be very useful for all new Sentri users.

[@colleentoscano8709]

I waited 2 1/2 years and finally got my Sentri! I always cross in Tecate so am not at all familiar with Tijuana. I watched this video about 15 times and memorized it. I drove this route from La Mision on a Tuesday morning leaving at 8:30am...Easy Peasy! No problem what so ever. I liked how once I did the u-turn at the horse statue and went up onto the bridge the lane was marked on the pavement periodically in big white letters SENTRI LANE. Thank you for making this easy to follow video!

[@VeronicaEisner77]

So helpful!!! I have ptsd from getting lost and going in circles for hours at this crossing. I owe you mucho!

[@CPcamaro]

The road past the Padre Kino roundabout/statue is slightly different now, but still an excellent video and it will get you there, just don't be in the far left lane after that roundabout on Padre Kino.

[@bellebbc]

Thank you so much for the detailed turn by turn video, it definitely helped us save so much time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andresaldecoamolina5413]

Good sir, you just gave me the evidence of why my family and I always ended up going in circles in Tijuana during our trips, thank you very much and also for the information.

[@CrystalBedoya]

Driving through Tijuana is such an whirlwind. Thank you so much for making this video!! It was incredibly helpful 🥳🥳🥳

[@andyflick2986]

Fantastic video! Thank you for this great set of instructions!

[@nathanm4545]

Followed this route Tuesday evening coming home from Ensenada, gracias! Also, you're show is dope.

[@taeum3062]

Just used this two weeks ago, thank you so much!! It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

[@greenaspandan]

Thanks Jorge ❤ this was so helpful! It was a little overwhelming at first, but it was actually fairly quick and easy despite having to go thru construction zone.

[@GhostRanger5060]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!

[@gmedina5678]

Thanks for sharing. Will keep an eye out for future videos!

[@xavierg8897]

You did a great job on this video very impressive but I think you need to make a new one with construction of the overpass. It is a completely different drive. If you have time availabilities do it I would try to do an update.

[@brittanyb3762]

Muchos gracias for making this video. It helped us so much today!

With the construction on the Via Internacional for the new highway, does it affect these directions? I got lost last time, to ultimately get pulled over and had to pay cops to let me go!

[@greenaspandan]

We just went thru the construction and still followed Jorge’s directions 👌🏽 all good

[@brittanyb3762]

Yes. Right now there is a detour. Have to follow the signs to get off and back onto the highway

[@veronicaverdugo8715]

Thank you soooooo much for this video. We've had global entry for a couple of years now, but seemed to only make it once to the Sentri crossing with ease since a lot of the crossing signs are spray painted ( makes me seem that this has been done on purpose for people to direct visitors for money, which we have done before, or to get bribes from cops which has been stated). We should have no problem crossing now! 🤗

[@supaneque]

Excellent video. Can you please make a video from Matamoros to Brownville, Tx?

[@Gallardo6669]

I just used your video yesterday. You put an fantastic effort in this video and i highly appreciate this! However, being 2 people in the car watching this video upfront and during driving made us pass the right exit after the coffee sign. At multiple spots we were also insecure about the turns. Perhaps an oedometer count would help. We slowed down the video multiple times to not pass the turns. However that point it isn't a fluid guide no more and in between you accelerated the video. It all confused a little bit, even you did so great. 2nd attempt i helped and we found it. Kindly thank you!!!

[@georgebishop9765]

That was great. How about making one for Calexico. Thanks

[@keeldragger]

well done

[@ryandevine1620]

I usually just go through Otay but I will try this one

[@krystelagriam2590]

hi. is there a drop off place to drop off non sentri passenger? is it close to the border? my bf has sentri but I do not. So I'll be walking over

[@harveyrawn]

Please post a similar video for the Ready lane.

[@crossingsouth]

You'll be happy to know we did! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKcg2esnd6VeK8

[@harveyrawn]

@@crossingsouth Excellent!

[@marknolan4609]

getting onto Padre kino is confusing....there are 2 streets you can turn onto....I have missed it twice. You should not have skipped over that part.

[@billligon4005]

I've been "conditionally approved" for my Global Entry Renewal, do you know if I can get the Interview at the Border in TJ? No appointments available un mid 2024.

[@VeronicaEisner77]

I didnt want to wait a year for my daughters sentri appt so i looked at neighboring cities who offered appointments sooner than in san diego (very busy office!) we ended up making a trip out to phoenix and got it done in 3-4 months as opposed to a year out

[@thegaby619]

Once you’re in the website make sure you select the office in San Diego and keep refreshing. Usually between 10am and 12 pm people will cancel. I was able to get an appointment the very next day doing this.

[@nocomment2035]

I'm likely going to Mexico for the first time in years as I haven't gone since COVID. Nice to see it's still the same complete nightmare I remember it to be. That roundabout and exit is one of the most terrifying things ever in traffic. And the end that 4 way intersection noone stops at. Complete animals driving in TJ

[@rouseelobe]

Hi there, how can i register another vehicle on the website?

[@adrianjimenez21]

The link you sent for Google maps is not working anymore

[@enriquemoyamx]

Does Global Entry also work to cross in car? I asked ChatGPT and it says SENTRI is for vehicle cross.

[@90293Mike]

Global Entry includes SENTRI, you are good to go. But you need to have your car registered too!!

[@YolandaRoberts-tz4uu]

The Google map provided doesn’t have the directions you give. And you say not to follow Google maps because they will get you lost but you provide google map directions.

[@homegirlsuccess]

Clear!!!

[@fabiansalazar3485]

Hello does everyone in vehicle need to have global entry or just driver and owner of vehicle? Thanks

[@trillyantrapp2605]

Everyone

[@eddie-eapple5533]

Does everyone in the car has to be registered or just one person and the car

[@liliana5393]

everyone

[@vickycontreras9357]

We got pulled over going on 2nd round about and the police were going to give me a ticket and impound my car. Then he came back asked for money. Ugh. I gave him $30 bucks and let me go. Is there a way to report this corruption?

[@puma0954]

Reasons why I don’t like/want to drive in TJ, cops are so corrupt. Worse than the cartel

[@OCmeiwaku]

your videos are so amazing they should be sponsored by Tijuana and the Mexican Govt. I could not have found them without you. If you have a Paypal address or buisness address I will send you MONEY.. seriously.

[@jamescc2010]

still not very easy drive, confusing, and need to study it well to get the feel.

[@patcunningham6522]

Made a wrong turn entering the Sentri lane. Was pulled over by a Mexican traffic cop on Padre Kino, then the extortion began. Was told that I was in violation of Sentri lane and would have to go in front of a judge with the following penalties. A fine of $600, possible loss of my car. I said there's roundabout 200 feet ahead that would allow me to exit the Sentri Lane but the cop said that was not possible and I was in serious trouble and I would have to follow a police car and stand before a judge. After sitting in my car for a short time the cop comes to the window and says the whole thing can be forgotten if I paid him the $600 dollars. I said I didn’t have $600 so he came to the passenger window and demanded $400 which I did have. All of the threats and negotiations were pre written on his phone in English which he kept showing me. He said don't show the money above the window but put it on the passenger seat. He quickly took the money stuffed it in his pocket handed me my license and quickly walked away to extort the next driver.

[@YolandaRoberts-tz4uu]

Coming back from Rosarito last week with my daughter who has the ready lane card she mistakenly went through a barricade was stopped by transportation and same thing they were telling me I had to go pay a fine. After 15 min of mumbo jumbo from this guy he ended up taking whatever cash we had about $20 told me to hand it to his supervisor under my license.

[@frankjdm4636]

Nooo! Next time tell him you want to see the Judge $400 is criminal he won't take you cause he knows he just made something up to scare you. And usually the fees with the Judge aren't that expensive as $400. Don't let em fool you next time

[@patcunningham6522]

@@frankjdm4636 Thanks, will not be a next time.

[@rafaelflores899]

How dd he knew u didn't had the sentiment permit?

[@JanetBurton-o6p]

@@YolandaRoberts-tz4uusame thing happened to me today. They are in official looking yellow jackets and had walkie talkies. I gave him my Sentri card because it was my first time and told him I was trying to get on Sentri Lane and he gave me his phone that said my car would be impounded, I would go to jail for the night and I said, “give me back my card(I still had his phone( and he got pissed off at me and tried opening my car as he wanted to pull me out into the street. Thank Goodness my doors were locked. I kept saying, give me my Sentri card as he was yelling at me to give back my phone. He kept saying I was going to jail and I kept saying “call the police!” So, on his walkie talkie, it seemed like he was calling the police because they showed up! But they never got out of their SUV. He politely asked for his phone back and before I gave it to him, he gave me my Sentri card. He forced me to go around Padri Keno and I left shaking and crying and drove to Otay Mesa to cross there. I’m 63 and my daughter needed me to take her dog to a vet down in TJ. I will probably never drive alone again. Too many people trying to make a buck and targeting Americans!
