From evaluating the security threats at your destination to selecting the best hotel, not to point out getting all the documents in order, this is no easy task, and it’s not surprising that some people will pay travel representatives to raise the problem off their shoulders.
Before you decrease that exact same route, and invest numerous dollars that might go on a space upgrade while you’re at it, have you checked out Travel Off Course’s 3 brand-new tools that will make organizing your Mexico journey a lot much easier?
Beginning with our newly-launched Entry Requirement Checker:

guidelines, as well as entry and remain policies in over 190 destinations, in under 10 seconds. If you ever felt like finding the proper, updated details in the middle of a flurry of clashing articles was just too complex, or as if official Federal government websites were too long-winded, and just not easy to use, all you have to do here is key in the name of the nation in the search bar, and boom:
You’ll get the clear-cut response of whether you need a visa as an American, what type of visa is needed (Consulate-issued, eVisa, or ETA), in addition to which paperwork to show at the border.
In Mexico’s case, U.S. passport holders are visa-exempt, however you are highly encouraged to bring evidence of onward or return travel, in case border authorities ask to see it, sufficient funds to support your trip, and the most crucial thing, make sure you have at least 6 months of validity left on your passport.
Verify Security Levels At Your Destination Before Flying The next thing to examine before you head to the airport is the safety advice applicable to your destination. Mexico is a large country, and not every city or resort zone shares the same safety levels. According to the U.S. State Department, various Mexican states are categorized between Levels 1 and 4, with 1 being the best, 2 the reasonably safe (where certain preventative measures need to be worked out), 3 the least safe (where travel is encouraged against), and 4 the no-go zones.
There’s constantly subtlety to be observed, however, and even in Level 3 or 4 states, like Jalisco or Sinaloa, there are low-risk areas: think Puerto Vallarta, among the most popular beach locations in Mexico, or even the up-and-coming Mazatlán.
The good news is, with TOP U.S. Travel Advisory Checker, you can easily verify safety assistance not just for Mexico as an entire, but each particular state, along with discover why they’re categorized the method they are.
