Citizens of the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and much of
Western Europe need no visa to enter Mexico as tourists for less than 180 days.
Other Western Europeans can stay for 90 days. Non-US citizens travelling
via the US may need a US visa. What every traveller must carry is a valid
passport and a tourist card (or FMT - folleto de migracion turistica) which is
available from embassies or at border crossings. The fee for the card is
already included in the price of a plane ticket for those who fly direct, but
those travellers who come by other means of transportation need to bring their
ID as well as preparing to pay a fee of about US$20.00 at a bank or a border
post.
Customs: duty-free allowances into Mexico are three bottles of liquor
(including wine), plus four hundred cigarettes or fifty cigars or 250g of
tobacco, plus twelve rolls of camera film or camcorder tape. The monetary
limit for duty-free goods is US $150.
