PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS Top of Page
US citizens need either a passport or passport card to enter Mexico. This
applies for a day-trip to Valle Hermoso or to visit one of our communities in
Mexico. You also need a passport or passport card if you plan to visit
Nuevo Progreso where you can purchase souvenirs, vanilla or other well-known items. Winter
Texans, visitors from the north who live in The Valley during the winter months,
are frequent visitors to Nuevo Progreso. There are now two stores
on the U.S. side of the border that offer such souvenirs as well.
Take FM 1015 exit from Expressway 83 and head for Nuevo Progress. Stores
will be on your left.
Passport cards for
Canada/Mexico travel
Top of Page
The U.S. State Department offers passport cards to citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean
by land or sea as a less expensive alternative to regular passports.
These passport cards are not usable for travel to other countries,
though. Since
June 2009, travelers to Mexico have been required to present either a
passport or passport card. A birth certificate and driver's license, previously used by
many travelers, is no longer sufficient. For details on how and where to get a passport card, see
www.travel.state.gov.
