Mexico has dropped all entry requirements originally introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Neither testing no health forms are any longer necessary for travellers wanting to visit the country.
Until recently, the nation’s COVID-related regulations for arrivals comprised only a mandatory online health questionnaire, Fly Safe, for both international and domestic flights. The completed questionnaire generated a QR code that travellers could scan at Mexican airports.
Travellers now no longer need to fill out the Fly Safe form, making travel to Mexico effectively the same as during pre-pandemic times.
However, certain popular tourism areas in Mexico now require proof of vaccination or negative Covid test, in order to allow entry to indoor venues such as bars and restaurants as well as concerts and stadiums. Some states have the requirement in place for people wanting to enter hotels, supermarkets, shopping malls and Taquerias (Tacos bars).
The rules have been dropped while Mexico is reporting more than 26 000 new cases a day, the highest ever reported in the country. Around 58,4% of the population is fully vaccinated, according to Reuters. The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that US travellers to Mexico be vaccinated, and that the unvaccinated avoid travel there.
Travellers entering the US after travel in Mexico will be required to get tested within 24 hours of arrival.
