Visa requirements for visiting Mexico vary depending on the traveler's country of origin.

You can find the complete list of requirements, as well as detailed procedures for obtaining a visa, on the official website of the National Institute of Migration (INM).

Additionally, this independent resource may be helpful if you are unsure about your visa requirements.

Important

It is the responsibility of each delegate to:

• Verify their own entry requirements for Mexico
• Complete any necessary visa applications and procedures
• Arrange personal travel insurance for entry into Mexico and any other countries transited on route

Local buses and taxis are available throughout Cancun in order to get around. For more information on getting from the airport to the Convention Center please see our Venue & Transport Page.

The official currency in Cancun is the Mexican Peso (MXN), but many accept major credit cards and U.S. dollars. You can check the exchange rate here.

Spanish is the official language in Cancun, however, English is widely spoken as well.

Cancun time is consistent with UTC-5.

Cancun has a tropical climate. In October, you can expect sunshine, high humidity, and some occasional rain showers, typically followed by sunny skies. We recommend packing for hot weather - light, cotton clothing and sun cream - as well as an umbrella/rain jacket.

Please be aware, mosquitos are very common in Cancun. We advise wearing bug repellent while outside. 

While Cancun is generally considered safe, but pick-pocketing can be common so we do recommend keeping this in mind when carrying cash, wearing jewellery, watches, etc.
