Can I Travel to Mexico in 2022

As the latest COVID variant dashes many travel hopes, travelers are asking, “Can I travel to Mexico?”

This gets asked a lot on travel forums and here at Mexican Insurance Store.

The short answer is, Yes.  Now with a ‘short answer’ qualifier, there’s got to be more explanation.

Your instincts are correct.

What’s Going On?

In non-mumbo-jumbo speak, If you’re an American Citizen or Permanent Resident, you can travel back and forth into Mexico and the USA.

The official US travel restrictions are found on the US State Department Website.

The current restrictions apply to non-citizens and those without documented permanent residency.  While Mexico does not restrict travel, the USA will restrict travel into the USA.  Naturally, this is because of COVID-19.  Let’s discuss some scenarios and take a quick quiz.

1. A British Citizen wants to Fly into Mexico and then into the USA. Is the Brit restricted from entry into the USA?
2. A US Citizen wants to drive into Mexico and then drive back to the US a week later.  Are there any restrictions?
