Just like traveling to any other parts of the
world, there are some general aspects we suggest you think about
while you are preparing you luggage. As follows, we have some suggestions
for you. In the following lines, you will find some important information
and basic recommendations, so your next visit to Mexico will be
a guaranteed success.
All of the airlines flying to Mexico can and will provide you with
the Tourist Card and instructions. Be sure to keep a copy of your
Tourist Card in a safe place. You will need this document upon departure
from Mexico. Your tourist card will be endorsed for a 90 day stay.
If planning to stay more than a couple weeks, be sure to ask for
the maximum entry of 180 days. Applying for a longer stay can be
a hassle once in Mexico. Play it safe!
Entry Requirements:
A valid passport and Tourist Card are the standard acceptable travel
documents. However, if you're an American
or Canadian citizen, the following items are also acceptable:
• An original birth certificate
• U.S. naturalization papers
• A notarized affidavit of citizenship
• A valid voter registration card
For your visit be sure to include the following:

action and operation.)
Money, Exchange & Credit:
The Mexican economy operates on the rise and fall of the Peso.
While most businesses will accept foreign currency, especially US
dollars, using pesos is your best bet. Foreign currency can be exchanged
at one of many casas de cambio (exchange houses). Mexican banking
hours are normally Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 P.M. however
for money exchange the hours time are normally from 9:00 A.M. to
1:00 P.M. Casas de cambio are open later than most banks and they
generally offer quicker service. Credit cards are widely accepted,
with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express being the most popular.
