January 23, Passport Rules to Change

According to the US State Department website the rules are set to change:

Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.

So for those of you who will be buying airplane tickets to visit beautiful Mexico in the next few months, make sure you have a valid passport too. If you’re driving, well you’ve got another year before things change, but it is always safer to have one.

Subtleties of Mexican Interaction

Just a quick note today as we have a lot lined up for the next week and a half. Mexico Highlights has a nice succinct list of differences of social and business interaction which is very useful for those considering retiring in Mexico, or for those interested in spending time in Mexico. Greetings and Tipping and how late to show up for lunch are covered. We’ve covered a lot of these differences at one time or another, both at MexRetire.com and here in the blog, but this quick list makes review and comparison easy.

Keep an eye here, as the Mexican Christmas festivities are just getting started.
