Mexico's land borders with the US, Guatemala and Belize are closed to non-essential traffic. You should depart Mexico by air. If you're driving or travelling by road in Mexico, take care to only travel during daylight hours and use toll roads (cuota). Allow enough time to get to your destination before dark. Comply with instructions at checkpoints. We continue to advise: Do not travel to Mexico due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel.
