Mexico Entry requirement

Jenfie80 · 20 Jul 21, 10:37 AM

Hi,
We have a trip to Florida booked for October but with the recent update I am more convinced we won’t get there, so I’ve been looking at Mexico, we have been before and loved it, from what I’ve seen you don’t need a test to enter Mexico (another draw for me) so takes away the worry of any of us testing positive the day before, has anyone been since COVID? I just worried about things not being open etc? And can someone recommend a test company for us to get back home?

Hiya, other than the health declaration you are good to go. Your hotel may well offer testing-mine does, The Hard Rock Riviera Maya. I haven't ever been, this will be my first time, but plenty of people have on the facebook group for the hotel I will be going to have. The restrictions that have recently come into force were not previously adhered to, so with cases on the rise, they are now strict. So bars etc, need to close at 11pm. I'm not sure of other stuff. But I think most things are open until that time. As a non drinker and someone that's in bed by 10 anyway it doesn't affect me lol. I am looking at a plan B though as I'm really worried which way Mexico could go now. I desperately want it to stay Amber though. Good luck.

I was just thinking about looking at Mexico and couldn’t see any restrictions either.

We’ve just been to Malta and so would take the same tests for return - we took a £26 lateral flow test with us and pre ordered our day 2 tests.

Where did you order your tests from? We're going to Spain in 2 weeks and just on the search for the best deal.
Did you have to video yourself?

I got it through Prenetics with a Virgin Atlantic discount. No, no video. Just on a portal then uploaded the result and a photo and they sent us a certificate.
