Grupo Mayan Business Travel Tips

The worst possible scenario for a busy business travel involves leaving important paperwork at home or in the office when traveling. When traveling overseas this might include forgetting to pack your passport or other important travel documents say the Grupo Mayan travel experts.

The luxurious Grupo Mayan resorts are located on the tropical coasts of Mexico. This means that unless you are traveling from another area of Mexico you will need specific travel documents to enter the country.
The Mexican government requires all foreign travelers to 3 specific documents for travel in the country. Upon landing in Mexico at any airport you will be required to present a valid identification card with a photo, a travel card, and proof of citizenship in your home country. While these documents must be presented on landing, say Grupo Mayan travel experts, some airlines will ask to see your travel documents before takeoff. This is done to ensure you have the correct documentation and are not turned back at Mexican customs. Without the proper documentation you will not be allowed in the country warn the Grupo Mayan experts.

Any person over the age of 18 should have a photo I.D. card issued by his home country or state. This is usually a driver’s license or school I.D. A school I.D. may or may not be accepted, especially as there are now higher security measures, but a valid driver’s license will always be considered an acceptable photo I.D, say the Grupo Mayan travel pros. This is usually not a problem for business travelers who normally have a driver’s license.

There are 2 places to find Mexican tourist cards. They can be picked up at the airport you leave from or upon landing in the country. These cards are issued by the Mexican government for travel in the country. As you enter immigration you will give the upper half of the tourist card to the immigration officer. Make sure you have the filled the card out prior to getting in the immigration line. The lower have of the card is yours to keep. Place it with your other travel documents and keep it with you at all times while on business in Mexico.

The last form of identification needed by the business traveler in Mexico, say the Grupo Mayan travel pros, is proof of citizenship. This is normally a passport or a birth certificate which has the state seal.
