Visiting Mexico City
If your final destination is Mexico City, it’s easy to explore the city once your flight lands at Mexico City International Airport (MEX). After clearing customs, you can choose from several transportation options to reach the city center, which is about 5 miles from the airport. Public transportation options include the metro, buses, and taxis, all of which are readily available once you’re ready to leave the airport.
To travel to Mexico, U.S. residents require a valid United States passport. For travelers entering Mexico by air only, Mexican immigration authorities implemented a process to replace the previous paper Forma Migratoria Multiple or FMM with a Forma Migratoria Multiple Digital or FMMD. The FMMD process is in place at all 66 international airports in Mexico. Upon arrival at an airport, Mexican immigration authorities will determine a traveler’s authorized length of stay and either place a date stamp in the traveler’s passport or direct the traveler through a self-service electronic gate (E-Gate) that will generate a printed receipt with QR code.
