Passport/Visa
British tourists visiting Mexico need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the intended date of entry and should obtain a tourist card (known as the "FMT") available from Mexican Consulates, Mexican international airports and border crossing points and most airlines serving Mexico. Families with children should note that since January 2005, it is no longer required that minors travelling alone or with only one parent needing to have a notarised letter from their parents. Minors only need a valid passport to fulfil the general migration requirements applied to their nationality. Tourists are not permitted to undertake voluntary work or any form of paid employment. Certain adventure or eco-tourism activities (eg caving, potholing, entomology) may require visas especially if they involve any scientific or technological research. Be aware that the Mexican authorities may define scientific or technological research activities far more broadly than other countries. You should not bring meat or dairy products to Mexico. The importation of these products from the EU is prohibited.
Trivia
