You need to go to a Mexican consulate abroad to ask about
the requirements and to take the necessary steps to get your
visa. The requirements differ from country to country.
If you are a citizen of Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary,
Ireland, Island, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,
Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Puerto Rico, San Marino, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, South
Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United States of America, Uruguay
or Venezuela, you don’t need a visa to enter Mexico,
although you must present a valid passport and fill out an
immigration form for tourists and business trips, which can
be obtained in travel agencies, airlines or at the point where
you enter Mexico.
The immigration officer at your point of entry into Mexico
can also request that you demonstrate that you have sufficient
funds and a return ticket to your country.
If you are a citizen of any other country, you need to go
to a Mexican consulate to request a visa. |
In Mexico, like many other countries, any person under the
age of 18 is considered a minor. Very strict regulations govern
travel by minors into Mexico. For example, if traveling alone,
the minor must have a notarized consent form signed by both
parents. If traveling with only one parent, the minor must
have a notarized letter of consent signed by the parent not
traveling. |
Packing for Mexico differs depending on where you go. The
central plateau and mountainous zones tend to be cool, while
the coastal regions are warmer with relatively high humidity.
Nights can get cool, even by the beach, so a light sweater
always comes in handy. The time of year can also play a part.
The rainy season begs for a raincoat. If you go sightseeing
bring sturdy hiking boots and wear light, loose clothing,
which is great for trekking through the pyramids. Conservative
attire is best for smaller towns and the interior of the country
while sporty, comfortable beachwear is ideal for resort areas.
When traveling to Mexico, bug repellent is usually a good
idea in the jungle where most of the archaeological sites
are located. Sunscreen is also a must because of Mexico's
bright sunshine and long days. |
