PASSPORT/TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Passports are required for all travelers to Mexico. Passports must be valid until September 9, 2025, or 6 months after your return travel date. It is highly recommended that you make a color copy of your passport and keep it in your carry-on luggage. During your stay, there will be a safe located in your guestroom where you may keep it upon arrival. This will assist the consulate in expediting your return home in case of a lost passport. Additional information on the procedures to enter/exit Mexico will be provided in your pre-trip information.

CANCUN AIRPORT FINES

Mexican customs regulations only allow one portable computer per foreign arrival, including laptops and tablets. Otherwise, travelers face taxes of up to 19% of the deemed value of up to $4,000 of the device, according to the country's General Rules for Foreign Trade. It has not typically been an issue, but they are now enforcing this rule now more than ever before - so, please be aware if you are planning to travel with more than one computer or tablet.
