Senior citizens and individuals with disabilities are permitted to bring devices that help offset or lessen their physical limitations when traveling. This includes a variety of mobility aids such as walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, and walking sticks. These items are essential for ensuring that passengers with mobility challenges can travel comfortably and with the necessary support.
Additionally, passengers are allowed to transport up to two pets, specifically dogs or cats. This is a great convenience for those who need to travel with their furry companions. However, it’s important to note that along with your pets, you should also bring the necessary accessories required for their transportation and care. These accessories might include carriers, leashes, collapsible bowls for food and water, and any necessary cleaning supplies to maintain hygiene during the journey.
For the smooth transportation of pets, it’s crucial to present the appropriate animal importing permit. This permit is issued by SAGARPA (Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación), the Mexican government’s Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food. This permit ensures that all animals entering the country meet the health and safety regulations, preventing the spread of diseases.
Obtaining this permit requires certain steps, including providing proof of your pets’ vaccinations and, in some cases, a health certificate from a veterinarian. It’s advised to check the specific requirements well in advance of your travel date, as the process can take some time. Ensuring you have all the necessary documentation and permits will make the journey smoother and less stressful for both you and your pets.
