Mexico's COVID-19 Entry Requirements: All You Need to Know

Currently, Mexico imposes no entry limitations, nor does it necessitate a COVID-19 test or enforce quarantine for arrivals.

Mexico Tourist Card by Air and Land

All travelers coming to Mexico, including children, must present the Mexico Tourist Card. You can apply with us to get this document here.

It’s important to note that this document does not replace a visa. You can apply for a Mexican visa (if you need one) on the official government site.

If you require a visa to enter Mexico when you pass through immigration, immigration authorities will still ask you for the visa stamped in your passport and a physical copy of the Mexico Tourist Card.

If you are traveling by air, you need to apply for the Mexico Tourist Card by Air, and if you are going through one of the land border crossings, you must apply for the Mexico Tourist Card by Land.

Travelers eligible to enter Mexico without a visa only need to obtain the Mexico Tourist Card.

Travel recommendations for Mexico

Here are a few important things to keep in mind when traveling to Mexico:

Travel insurance: Travel insurance is not mandatory to travel to Mexico but is highly recommended. It covers overseas medical costs and protects you from any inconveniences that may occur, such as an accident or illness, loss of luggage, or flight cancellation. The expenses that may be incurred are more significant than the cost of travel insurance.

Do not drink tap water: Tap water in Mexico is not drinkable, and drinking bottled water is recommended.

Exchanging currencies: Many restaurants and shops accept credit cards, but some places, such as street stalls, cabs, or local markets, only accept cash. To exchange or take out money, always use the ATM of a trusted bank.

Transportation: The Mexico City metro is usually very crowded. It is easier to get around on the Metrobus, which has various routes and stops and is considered a safer alternative. Always use a reputable taxi company instead of unofficial street taxis.
