Know Before You Go

The U.S. Department of State advises travelers headed to Mexico to follow these safety guidelines:

• Ensure entry and exit requirements for Mexico are met.

• Carry a valid driver's license.

Tips for Traveling in
Mexico's Free Zone

The Free Zone of Mexico includes all of Baja California and the upper portion of Sonora, defined as the area 100 kilometers south of its border with the U.S. The Free Zone offers more lax laws for tourists and is attractive for tourists and your clients who dislike excess paperwork and the headaches that come with immigration and permits. There are just a few things your clients should keep in mind for a hassle-free trip to the Mexico Free Zone.

1. Everyone entering into Mexico needs a passport.

2. If you are driving, you must have Mexican auto insurance for your vehicle.

3. Bring an up-to-date Mexico road map with you.

4. A Spanish-English dictionary is the best prevention for frustration.

5. Obey the laws. The laws are more lax in Mexico, but they do exist and must be obeyed in order to avoid conflict and potential jail time.
