Yes, U.S. citizens need a valid passport to travel to Mexico by air, and a passport book is required for re-entry into the U.S. If traveling by land or sea, you can use a passport book, passport card, or a Trusted Traveler Program card (such as a SENTRI card). If you plan to stay in Mexico for more than 180 days, you will need to apply for a visa.

Your passport must be valid at the time of entry and for the duration of your stay in Mexico. Unlike some countries, Mexico does not require six months of validity beyond your arrival or departure date. However, to avoid any potential issues with airlines or border officials, it is generally recommended to have at least six months of validity remaining on your passport.
