Overview
- Profeco published the 'Guía Viajera' in late June to warn Mexican fans to check passports, apply for U.S. B1/B2 visas or Canadian eTAs/visas early, and avoid buying tickets before paperwork is complete.
- The agency says passports should have at least six months’ validity and advises carrying physical and digital copies of travel documents to speed entry and consular help.
- Travelers are urged to register itineraries in the SIRME system of the Mexican foreign ministry so consulates can locate and assist people in emergencies.
- Profeco lists specific bus-passenger rights under its 'Mundial Social' campaign: tickets must show full trip details, carriers must hold passenger and baggage insurance, and trips delayed over two hours may be canceled with a full refund.
- The guide also gives practical money and safety tips—change currency only at authorized places, notify banks of travel to avoid card blocks, and carry notarized parental permission for minors when required—which could reduce delays, financial losses, and consular cases during the tournament.
