Travel advisory ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: it is a severe crime to bring weapons, ammunition, e-cigarettes, vaping liquids, or any form of marijuana (including medical) into Mexico. Ignorance of these laws is not a defense and violations carry long jail sentences. Thoroughly check all baggage for prohibited items before crossing the border, use official airport taxis or registered rideshare apps like Uber, keep your passport valid, carry limited cash, and if traveling to Quintana Roo download the "Guest Assist" app for local emergencies.
