Our tips for Cancun

European nationals

1. Passport and Visa:

European nationals, including those from member countries of the Schengen Area, do not need a visa for tourist or business stays of less than 180 days in Cancun, Mexico. However, they must present a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. On arrival, travelers receive a tourist card (FMM), which they must keep for the duration of their stay and present on departure.

2. Customs formalities:

Visitors must declare any amount over 10,000 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) when entering or leaving the country. Certain products, such as food, plants and animals, may be restricted or prohibited. It is advisable to check specific regulations on authorized products before traveling.

3. Health insurance:

Although not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to have health insurance covering medical care abroad, including coverage for medical evacuations. The Mexican healthcare system can be expensive for tourists, especially in tourist areas like Cancun.

4. Safety and Travel Advice:

European nationals should consult their government's travel advice before departing for Cancun. It is prudent to find out about local safety conditions and to respect the recommendations of local authorities and tourist institutions.

Non european nationals

1. Passport and Visa:

International nationals should check visa requirements specific to their nationality before traveling to Cancun. Many countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa may require a visa to enter Mexico, even for short-term tourist or business stays. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of departure from Mexico. The tourist card (FMM) is also required and must be kept throughout the stay.

2. Visa and Obtaining Procedures:

For countries requiring a visa, it's essential to start the process well in advance. Visa applications can be submitted to Mexican embassies or consulates. Required documents generally include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, a letter of motivation for the trip, and proof of round-trip flight reservation.

3. Customs formalities and regulations:

As with European nationals, all international travelers must declare sums of money in excess of 10,000 USD or the equivalent in other currencies. It is important to familiarize yourself with prohibited or restricted products prior to travel to avoid complications at customs.

4. Health and Safety Insurance:

It is strongly recommended that all international travelers have comprehensive health insurance covering medical expenses and emergency evacuation. Safety conditions may vary, and it is advisable to consult their respective government travel advisories for up-to-date information and specific advice on Cancun.

5. Other Considerations:

International nationals should also be aware of local public health rules, such as vaccination requirements. It's advisable to check for updates before traveling.

By following these tips, European and international nationals can ensure that their trip to Cancun goes off without a hitch and make the most of their stay in this popular destination.

Health

For a healthy stay in Cancun, follow these health tips. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date, especially against hepatitis A and B. Protect yourself from mosquitoes, vectors of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya, by using repellents and wearing long clothing. Drink bottled water to avoid gastrointestinal illnesses, and hydrate regularly in the tropical climate. Use a high factor sunscreen, wear a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from intense sunlight and prevent sunburn and sunstroke.

Safety

To ensure your safety in Cancun, adopt cautious behavior. Avoid traveling alone at night, and prefer well-lit, well-frequented areas. Keep your valuables safe and out of sight in your car. Be vigilant when withdrawing money, using cash dispensers located in safe areas. On beaches, respect the swimming flags and keep an eye on your personal belongings. If you're going out in the evening, remain vigilant in busy tourist areas. In case of emergency, dial 911 for rapid assistance. Enjoy your stay with peace of mind by following these tips.
