Travel
A properly completed Multiple Migratory Form (FMMd) is required to enter Mexico.
Remember to keep the FMMd in a safe place during your trip. You will be asked for it at your departure from Mexico.
For information on completing your FMMd, visit the Country Entry Requirements page or the FMMd webpage.
A letter of invitation for convention should not be required. However, if it is requested, you will be able to download one from the confirmation email sent after completing your convention registration.
Mexico City offers a rich variety of foods and beverages to enjoy on your trip.
When eating at your hotel or a local restaurant, the water will be filtered and safe to drink, along with coffee, juice and other beverages. If you are ever concerned about the quality of the water, bottled water is readily available.
If trying food from a local street vendor, we recommend purchasing fully cooked foods (no raw fruits or vegetables that may have been washed in unfiltered tap water) and enjoying a bottled beverage.
While staying at your hotel, we recommend that you do not drink water from the sink. Bottled water will be available in your rooms.
Treat visiting Mexico City the same as you would when visiting any major city. Be aware of your surroundings, keep valuables out of site and stay within the more central neighborhoods.

Failure to comply will eliminate the group from participation.
