News Mexican Caribbean U.S. and Canadian visitors ... U.S. and Canadian visitors most present passports when entering Mexico
Mexico City — A new Mexican federal regulation requiring U.S. and Canadian visitors to present passports when entering Mexico went into effect last Monday.
Nevertheless, a Mexican official source said the majority of travelers to Baja California won’t be affected.
"Exempt from the new rule are visitors to border regions who remain in the country for less than 72 hour" according to Mexico’s National Migration Institute. In addition, cruise ship passengers who briefly disembark in Ensenada, Mexico, will not be required to present a passport. “For us, it’s business as usual,” said Oscar Escobedo, Baja California’s tourism secretary.
The regulations stipulated that all U.S. and Canadian citizens entering Mexico by air, land and sea must carry passports. But the measure was quickly modified to exempt border zones after protests by tourism officials and business groups in Baja California and other northern border states.
Opponents of the new rule feared that enforcement would generate lengthy delays at already-congested border crossings such as San Ysidro, and discourage cross-border commerce and other exchanges. (Source: Sign on San Diego)
