The US State Department changed their travel advisory for Mexico. After issuing a world-wide travel advisory in March restricting travel around the world, the US has changed the travel advisory for Mexico to Level 3-Reconsider Travel instead of a Level 4-Do Not Travel. Even though this travel restriction downgrades the status of travel to Mexico, travel due to Covid-19 is still restricted--boarders from the US to Mexico are officially closed. (Flights to Mexico are still allowed and being processed.)

There are sections of Mexico where you are not advised to go because of crime and kidnapping:Do Not Travel To:
  • Colima state due to crime.
  • Guerrero state due to crime.
  • Michoacán state due to crime.
  • Sinaloa state due to crime.
  • Tamaulipas state due to crime and kidnapping.

  • Chihuahua state due to crime.
  • Coahuila state due to crime.
