Immigration
The authorities require that each person fill out an "FMT" (Forma Migratoria Turista) and commonly referred to as a "Tourist Card." Make sure it signed on the reverse side. Keep the stamped copy with your passport, as it demonstrates that you entered Mexico legally. Be careful not to lose it, as you will need to turn it in at the airport before boarding your return flight.
Entry Documents
 For US and Canadian Citizens
Preferably a valid passport or a birth certificate, if it is an original with the embossed seal of the court recorder and is complemented by an official picture ID such as a driver license or voter's registration.
For Other Citizens
Please check with the closest Mexican Consulate if you will require a Mexican Visa.
For Minors
There are no special requirements for a minor traveling with both parents. A minor traveling with one parent will need a notarized letter authorizing the parent traveling with the child to take him/her to Mexico, and indicating length of stay. If the missing parent is divorced, the same letter will apply, as would a certified or notarized copy of custody agreement. If the missing parent is deceased, a certified copy of the death certificate must be brought along.
Customs
Once you clear immigration, pick your your luggage from the carrousel assigned to your airline. In case of a damaged or missing suitcases, do not leave the luggage area until an airline representative is found. Ask the closest official to assist you in locating a Tukari representative to help you.
In Mexico, the law requires that you complete a declaration form, which you turn in to the authorities at the airport check point. If you have nothing to declare, you will press a button which turns on red or green light at random. If you get a red light, Customs officials will inspect your luggage; if the light is green, you are free to proceed. Foreign visitors are entitled to bring up to 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars and one liter of alcoholic beverage into Mexico.
US visitors are entitled to return to the US with up to $400.00 US Dollars in handicrafts and souvenirs and, depending on the state they are from, one or two liters of alcoholic beverages, duty free. You may never take fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, plants, flowers, or protected animals out of the country.
