Changing Covid testing requirements

[tridacna]

The Missus's nephro suggested we do what he is doing. Wait a little bit for 4 and get the newer one that is coming that is supposed to be better with omicron.

Earliest will be in about another 6 months. I had my fourth 2 weeks ago. I'll get the new one if available then...

Well, I was thinking of check my spike levels and see. Not against another booster though. Mine got me through the missus's case of omicron...

I was there last month. No requirements coming in. Get your forms on the plane. Sit close to the front of the plane-they ran out of forms on both flights that I was on this year. They give them to you at arrivals but it slows you down. I bring my vaxx card - never needed it yet.

@tridacna : Thank you for the heads up!

@mediumone @cvchief Thank you both for the added info and links!

This are the official sites to do the cards. NEVER pay for them. One of the first person, one of the second per family.

Customs: Choose Cancun then Cozumel for the checkpoint:

AFAIK, Mexico only test for pesos Big Poppy.

How soon before arrival can you fill them in? Do any immigration officers give you a hard time with the online forms?

Immigration officers haven't had a problem with on-line forms for many years. I don't know how much in advance that you can fill them out. I think that I was about 1 week pre-departure.

Customs forms can't be filled out on-line more than three days before arrival.

The immigration form I believe can be filled out up to 30 days before travel. I did ours last weekend for our flight that leaves on April 27th. Customs is 3 days as of when we were down there in November. We have never had an issue taking the online forms, just make sure they are flat, and not faded or cut off. I always take a couple of copies in case there is an issue with one of the printouts.

Yep. I don't keep a printer at home so I ask my daughter to mail them to me, which can take a week for her to get to, mail, and arrive. I complete the immigration form a month before arrival, download it, and send it to her in a day or two - plenty of time. I also ask her to print a blank customs form and send it in case the plane doesn't have any as they don't always, and finding them while in line can be a hassle.

Don, I’m willing to bet that your approach is unique! What do you have against printers?
