To travel to Mexico, U.S. residents require a valid United States passport. You must also fill out a tourist card before arrival. Tourist cards – and the accompanying fee – are usually provided by your airline.

A negative COVID test is not required for U.S. citizens’ entry into Mexico.

Starting on December 6, 2021, air travelers aged two and older, regardless of nationality or vaccination status, are required to show documentation of a negative viral test result taken within one day of the flight’s departure to the United States before boarding. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight. That includes all travelers – U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (LPRs), and foreign nationals.

This means you must schedule a COVID test before leaving Mexico in order to re-enter the United States. We suggest scheduling your test with your hotel.

We will continue to monitor the U.S. State Department website for additional travel requirements.
