Foreign citizens traveling to Mexico must have a valid passport and complete an Official Entry Immigration Form or Tourist Card, prior to entry.

The Tourist Card is generally made available to you during your flight into Cancun by the flight staff. You now also have the convenient option of completing the tourist card online. With this option, you will print out your form and carry it with you.

After passing through Immigration you will be directed to the baggage claim area to collect your luggage. From here, you will need to pass through the customs checkpoint before leaving the airport.

You are required to submit a completed customs entry form at the checkpoint. Customers officers will collect your form, and ask you to press the checkpoint button. A green light means you pass through, a red light means a quick search by customs officers of your luggage.

Custom forms are usually given to you, along with your immigration form, during your flight. If for some reason these forms are not made available to you, they can also be picked up near the customs checkpoint. Remember that pen you brought with you? It comes in super handy here too
