If you live in Tijuana, Baja California, or regularly cross the border into the United States through San Ysidro, you may be asking, "Can Mexicans donate plasma in the U.S. with a B1/B2 Visa?"

Why Plasma Donation Matters
Plasma is the clear, straw-colored liquid portion of your blood that contains essential proteins, antibodies, enzymes, and clotting factors. These components are used to manufacture specialized medications that help treat people living with serious and often life-threatening medical conditions.
Plasma-derived therapies are used to help patients with:
- Primary immune deficiencies
- Hemophilia and bleeding disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
- Neurological disorders
- Rare genetic conditions
- Severe burn injuries
- Trauma-related injuries
- Liver disease
Unlike many medications, plasma cannot be manufactured in a laboratory. Every treatment depends on generous donors who choose to donate. Every plasma donation has the potential to improve—or even save—the lives of multiple patients.
Can Mexican Citizens Donate Plasma in the United States?
Yes. Many Mexican citizens legally cross into the United States every day using a valid B1/B2 Visitor Visa or Border Crossing Card (BCC) for shopping, appointments, tourism, and other approved activities.
If you have valid documentation and meet the medical eligibility requirements, you may be eligible to donate plasma at CRT Plasma.
