멕시코 안전여행정보…외교부 임시 영사사무소 운영 [해외안전여행정보] / YTN korean

Hello, this is Overseas Safe Travel Information. Those visiting Mexico for the CONCACAF World Cup should pay close attention. While Korean citizens can visit Mexico without a visa, there are certain details you need to check in advance, ranging from entry procedures to local security situations. We will connect with Ms. Jeong Eun-kyo, an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to learn more about these details. Ms. Jeong, hello. What are some things that would be good to check in advance? [Ms. Jeong Eun-kyo] First, Korean citizens visiting Mexico for tourism purposes can stay for up to 180 days without a visa. However, caution is required as import regulations for certain items are strict. For prescription drugs or psychotropic medications, you must carry an English prescription or a doctor's statement in English. The import procedures for drones are very strict, and high taxes are imposed if brought in without prior permission, so it is advisable to refrain from bringing them in if possible. Also, please be aware that the import of e-cigarettes is prohibited. Furthermore, if you are transiting through the United States, please check for separate entry requirements, such as ESTA approval. [Anchor] What precautions should be taken when watching soccer matches or sightseeing locally? [Officer Jeong Eun-kyo] As large crowds gather around stadiums and tourist attractions, you must pay particular attention to managing your belongings and ensuring your personal safety. Be careful to prevent your valuables and personal items from being exposed, and if you are traveling at night, it is advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing services. In the event of an emergency, you can contact local emergency numbers or the Consular Safety Call Center for assistance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is operating temporary consular offices in the Guadalajara and Monterrey regions during the World Cup, so if you need assistance, please seek guidance from our nearest diplomatic mission. #Mexico #MinistryOfForeignAffairs #CONCACAFWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #MexicoTravel YTN Kang Hyun-jung ([email protected]) ※ 'Your tip becomes news' [KakaoTalk] Search for YTN and add the channel [Phone] 02-398-8585 [Email] [email protected] ▶ Original Article : https://www.ytn.co.kr/replay/view.php... ▣ Subscribe to YTN Korean YouTube Channel: https://goo.gl/gcKeTs ▶ Mobile Replay : https://m.ytn.co.kr/replay/replay_lis... ▶ Facebook :   / ytnworld   ▶ Naver TV : https://tv.naver.com/ytnkorean [7.5 Million Korean Network Worldwide / YTN Korean]
