phil in mexico Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Wondering, flying to T J and walking across bridge as a Mexican with proper papers, is it allowed at this time? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 There ARE restrictions... Travel Restrictions - Fact Sheet | U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico (usembassy.gov) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 The short answer is no. Unless they can meet one of the reasons for " Essential travel" they can not enter by land crossing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Wouldn't saying one was going across to be vaccinated be reason enough to be allowed to enter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 It depends on which border agent you get. When I spoke with an agent in the booth in Laredo I was told no. When I called the Laredo field office I was told no. They say vaccinations are available in Mexico so it is not an essential doctor's appoint. I have seen accounts of Canadians that were allowed to enter in Laredo but no Mexicans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I know many Mexicans from Chiapas who just left for the States legally. Companies or agents offered them jobs and visas with contract for 6 months to go and pick fruit and work in orchards in Florida... A all bunch of them left last week for MOnterrey. Another bunch left for Hermosillo. I do not know where these guys were headed but they all had contracts and none of them were vaccinated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcscats Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 You would need to have a Visa from US consulate or embassy if you are using a mexican passport. If you have the visa now you deal with the Covid restrictions and I don't know the answer to that. Visas are good for ten years and many many mexicans have them for visiting US. Not sure what the agriculture workers are using to get in the USA. corrected my error on number of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 My friends have visas for 10 years to visitt the US and they can stay more than 3 months. ANother friend of mine is an artist and has a 10 year visa and went up there for 4 months but he is fully vaccinated.. so nothing strange there. I also hear from many people who tell me they want to go up there because Chiapas is full of conflicts , really nasty ones and there is no good job.. so more illegals are on their way...No vaccine either.. The agriculturor workers, I do not know what they are getting, these agents hire a bunch of them and they do not have to go to Mexico either for the visa.. THere has to be a system for them or they are all illegals and they do not know it.. WHo knows.. They tell me they are going legaly and have visas but the majority of them do not know the difference between a passport and a visa. For sure they all have a passport the rest I have not seen.

Mostlylost Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 A Tourist visa for the USA is valid for10 years. You are allowed 180 says a year in the US. At this time the only entry is by plane. If some is granted a temporary work visa than a land entry is allowed to travel to a specific job. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
