Mexican Immigration Policies
Travel information is basically the general information regarding the places that a person plans to visit or travel to in the future. Travel is the traveling of people from different distant geographical locations across the world. Travel can either be one-way or round trip, done by car, bike, train, plane, boat or other modes, and is one way or circular trip. A person can also plan for a travel vacation and opt to go around a destination in a single destination. A person planning a travel vacation uses travel information in preparing for his travel or vacation.
There are different types of travel information on different destinations which a traveler can use. Domestic air travel and international air travel are the most common types of travel. There are many different destinations such as: Europe, Asia, Australia, America, South America, Africa, Oceania, the Caribbean and more. The place of destination determines the type of travel that a traveler would like to have. Some travelers may want to go around the entire globe whereas some others may want to go just part by part.
In the case of a round-trip ticket, a traveler is provided with the ticket and directions for the travel round the particular destination, whereas those who want to go by airplane use flight information which gives them detailed information about their destination, times, and cost. For international travelers, there is a special section of the Department of State called Travel under the Department of State website. On this site are the links to travel advisories, travel alerts, travel warnings and the list of countries that have restrictions on travel to the United States. These are issued for a period of ten days to one month. It is also possible for travelers to get extensions for the ten days to one year from the Department of State’s website.
In terms of the entry restrictions, travelers are asked to abstain from eating or drinking from the plant or animal life found along the borders of Mexico, Costa Rica, or the three Central American nations that border the US – Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala. This is because the plants and animals can carry deadly viruses that could potentially harm travelers or cause illnesses that might result in death. Another piece of information from the Department of State website contains the list of contagious diseases that can spread due to infected animals or plants. The list of contagious diseases includes swine flu, hepatitis B, malaria, diarrhea, bird flu, tularemia, hepatitis C, cholera, avian Leptospirosis, lice, mumps, shigella, traveler’s diarrhea, meningitis, mumps, viral encephalitis, meningitis, viral meningitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis c, rotavirus, rabies, hepatitis, cytomegalo virus, and ticks.
Of the ten days of contagious diseases, travelers are not permitted to stay more than fourteen days for any one destination. An eighth day may be granted if the traveler presents a medical certificate from the country of origin. However, no person may remain in the area for more than two weeks for any one destination. Vacationers are not allowed to stay in any travel clinic for the first two days after arrival or for the first foreign travel to Mexico since the epidemiological risks of carrying diseases from Mexico and other countries are considered very high. Any person traveling to Mexico should consult their physician for details on Mexico’s entry restrictions.
Upon Arrival at the Airport: In cases where travelers have received a negative Mexico visa (often called the TCRA) or an EAD card, they will be required to undergo a background check by the Mexican government. Such checks include a check of the criminal history of the individual, and a check of immigration test results. In this case, the traveler may also be required to complete and submit an immunization form. Upon completion of the immunization form, the traveler must then wait twenty four hours and submit another immunization form for ten days after the end of the stay. Travelers should also be advised that a twenty four hour waiting period is considered reasonable and does not constitute undue inconvenience for the traveler.
