Fortunately, Mexico is open to travelers. You don’t need to provide a negative PCR test, and there is no quarantine requirement on arrival. However, you have to fill out a form of Health Declaration that needs to be done at least twelve hours before your arrival in Mexico.

On the other hand, American citizens traveling back to their country need to have a negative PCR test. They should be taken 72 hours before their travel to return to their country. Public gatherings are allowed in many areas, and the beaches are open for travelers.

That is why you can easily visit the country and enjoy some of the best things it has to offer in 2021. Playa del Carmen and Cancun are open for tourists, with public gatherings allowed and work resuming as normal.

Passing Immigration

Once you arrive in Mexico, you have to pass their Immigration to enter the country. That is why you need to ensure that you have your Mexico Visa and Tourist card with you. Besides that, you will also have to present your valid passport to Immigration.

The passport you present should be the same that you used for the Visa application and the Tourist Card form. Your passport also needs to have a validity of six months. Once you show these documents, the Immigration authorities will ensure everything is alright and then allow you to enter.

Keep in mind that if you require a Mexico Visa, you need to have it approved by the authorities and printed. That is because Immigration will do a thorough check to ensure everything is in order. Once it is, you can enter Mexico and start enjoying everything this magnificent country has to offer.

On the other hand, if you want to take a long journey, it is better to fly. For example, going from Cancun to Mexico on a bus will take you fifteen hours and cost a lot. On the other hand, flights are cheap, and you will reach the destination in ninety minutes.

If you don’t want to travel on a bus due to COVID-19, you can always rent a car. Rentals are incredibly affordable and useful to get around one place. Ensure that you do your research and plan what you want to do and visit before you arrive in Mexico.
