Mexico is open to travelers. There is no need to provide a negative PCR test or quarantine on arrival, though most resorts ask guests to fill out health questionnaires.
The land border between Mexico and the United States has been reopened to nonessential travel since November 8, 2021.
Since December 6, all American air travelers 2 and older returning to the US need a negative Covid-19 test taken within one day of their departing flight, regardless of vaccination status. It’s part of a general tightening of US travel rules because of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The US Embassy says results for PCR and antigen tests are reliably available within 24 hours in Mexico.
As of December 18, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintained Mexico’s travel advisory rating at level 3 — “high” risk. Level 4 is “very high” risk. The CDC advises travelers to be fully vaccinated before traveling to Mexico.
What’s on offer
You’ll find incredible food, sensational beaches, charming towns and historical remains. While the beach resorts around Cancun attract the bulk of visitors, those who want more than a fly and flop go for Mexico City’s cultural heft, the coastline of Baja California and traditional towns such as Oaxaca.
Who can go
Mexico has had some of the world’s loosest border restrictions with anyone allowed to travel by air for business or leisure.The United States, the European Union and other major destinations have blocked arrivals from eight southern African nations (including South Africa, Namibia and Botswana), but Mexico has not joined in the travel ban.
