AN UPDATE FOR AMERICANS TRAVELING TO MEXICO

As students and spring breakers return from Rocky Point, there's been an ongoing buzz about how a tourist card is now needed to travel back and forth from Mexico. KGUN 9 spoke with the Consul of Mexico in Tucson for clarification to dispel that rumor:

No tourist card required for travel to Mexico

The recommended documents to bring to cross the border legally include a birth certificate and a passport. A tourist card is an entry immigration form that details information about your visit to Mexico, but it is not something you need to bring with you to travel.
