Mexico vacation suggestions

1. To enter Mexico, you’ll need

a) A picture Identification just like passport or driving license,

b) Some sort of legitimate citizenship proof and also

c) A tourist card or F.M.N.- this is a 2-part “permission” document issued by the government of Mexico allowing you to travel to the country. Offered free of charge, it might occasionally be hard to obtain specifically huge groups. The majority of airlines have got this in stock and can provide you with it when you check-in. You may also get on arrival from the Mexican Immigration office. Things to remember about the tourist card

· After immigration you will be given the bottom portion as resistant. Never lose or deface this as you need to return it on departure. Notice the card number or even better keep a duplicate of it with your other travel documents. In the event of loss of the original, at least the copy or even the number could save you

· Avoid carrying your tourist card and travel paperwork everywhere especially for small distances. It is possible to carry it when you’re traveling inwards or extensively

· You can also get an extension of up to 18 days on the travel card, if necessary

2. As with any other tourist destination, the chances of theft is always high with visitors in Mexico. Avoid taking valuable jewelry if it’s not a necessity. Have your travel documents scanned and emailed to yourself, to assist you in the unlucky incident of a theft. Leave your travel itinerary with your friend, but avoid talking about with strangers when you travel. Note down the global helpline numbers of your debit and credit card banks. The common helpline (1-800) will not work from Mexico.

3. Bring only as much cash as you need immediately in your outer pockets. Keep the rest stashed away in money belts that you can wear on your body below your garments. Additionally carry a mix of Travelers cheques and money. To get a better exchange rate withdraw cash (preferably only from malls and stores) ATMs rather than exchange stores.

These are just precautionary safety measures and definitely don’t mean you will fall into difficulty when in Mexico.
