Question

As a resident alien of the US do I need a passport to travel to Mexico and back?

Answer 1

The CORRECT answer is...it depends on HOW you travel.  If you are FLYING, you must have a passport.  Since you are not a U.S. citizen, you must use your passport from your home country.  If you are traveling by LAND or SEA, you will not need a passport to travel to and from Mexico until after SUMMER 2008.  See website below and read the top half of the page carefully for the CURRENT info.

Answer 2

Only if you want to get back in.

If you travel to a another country, you need a passport

Answer 3

yes.. isnt it a new law this year that requires passports to everywhere now.. Canada, Mexico, England etc...

Answer 4

Actually, soon even U.S. Citizens will need a passport to travel to Mexico. Why not just sneak into Mexico? Why bother with all that pesky paperwork.

Answer 5

Yes...

Recently they changed the rules (last January) where you now have to have a passport no matter what to travel internationally...you just don't have to pay the Mexico departure taxes if you have dual citizenship...
