Important Travel Advisory for Indian Nationals travelling to Mexico

Government of Mexico has been following strict immigration policies and checks at the border immigration entry points. Many Indian nationals are facing very strict immigration checks upon their arrival in Mexico. Many of them are being detained for several days at the airports in Mexico and thereafter deported to India, resulting in immense hardship and economic loss to the distressed travellers. As their mobile phones are taken away, the detained persons cannot be reached by anyone, including their family and friends causing further distress. In cases of arrivals from third countries or travellers holding visas other than Mexican visas, the travellers are subject to even stricter scrutiny by the Mexican Immigration Authorities, and instances of detention/deportation are much higher.

Indian nationals are hereby advised to keep the above in mind before undertaking any kind of travel to Mexico, so as to avoid unpleasant and unfortunate incidents at the immigration entry points in Mexico. Indian travellers are also advised to check the latest advisories issued by Embassy of India, Mexico City at https://www.indiainmexico.gov.in/
