PASSPORT

Visitors from Canada and the U.S.A. do not need a passport to enter Mexico [Drivers Licence, Photo ID]. If you use a passport it must be valid for at least six months from the date of departure.

NOTE: After 9/11 Mexican immigration was demanding passports for ALL visitors. This was only TEMPORARY. Things are back to normal again and for Canadian and U.S. citizens' valid identification is required, passport is optional.

US citizens [as of Jan. 23 2007] require a passport to ENTER the USA NOT Mexico.

This means if you leave the United States you need a passport to get back in [by airplane/Car]. All other nationalities, while legal permanent residents of the United States or Canada, will have to exhibit legal permanent residency papers at port of entry.

Vaccine Info

No vaccinations are required to enter Mexico from Canada or the U.S.A. Other visitors should check with a medical specialist, well in advance of your trip.
