Some Useful Mexican Vacation Tips

If you are thinking about visiting Mexico, you will want to have these five simple Mexican vacation tips in mind to avoid ruining your dream Mexican vacation with an unpleasant experience.

1- To enter Mexico you will need a photo ID, a tourist card or F.M.N, a valid proof of citizenship and a tourist card. Tourist cards are free for anyone, and airlines will provide one to you upon check-in. It must be returned to the Mexican immigration office upon departure, so be careful and don’t lose it.

2- As in every other vacation, avoid carrying important documents with you all the time. Keep them in a safe place (like your hotel room) to avoid losing it.

3- Minors need a notarized document allowing his visit to Mexico, signed by both parents.

4- Your tourist card is valid for 30 days. If you plan to stay longer ask for the extended validation for 180 days. But do it before you enter Mexico, because doing this while in the country may be difficult and time consuming.

5-If you plan to rent a car while in Mexico, be sure to do so before you leave home. That will ensure availability. Also, have in mind that the minimum required age for renting a car is 25. If you rent a car, don’t even think of letting someone else drive, unless they are at least 25 years old.
