| Visa (International students) |
Officially, the Mexican government allows U.S.
and Canadian tourists to travel in Mexico for up to 90 days with a
certified copy (must have an official raised seal) of your birth
certificate and a valid photo ID (to corroborate who you say you are).
This is what the law says, but the Mexican government prefers that you
have a passport. If you have one, bring it. If you want to get one, be
aware that it can take up to two months to get under normal processing.
If you plan to travel outside of Mexico before returning to your
country, you will be required to have a passport. Before you leave for
Mexico, make a few copies of the picture/information page of your
passport. Leave one in your country. Once you get to Mexico, it
is better to leave your passport in your home while in Cuernavaca.
Carry a photocopy for identification (unless you are changing money).
This way you don't have to worry about it getting stolen or lost. |
|
| Health insurance |
Before leaving for Mexico, be sure your health
insurance provider will cover medial expenses incurred outside of your
country. If not, you should buy short-term traveler’s health and
accident insurance which is usually available through travel agencies.
Most insurance companies expect you to pay at the time of services and
then submit the receipts and claims for reimbursement once you are back
in your home country. |
|
| Medical concerns |
For short stays in Mexico (especially in a
major urban area), most immunizations are optional. Check with your
health professional. |
