Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | No Visa is required however, you will need a passport if you are traveling by air. The passport requirement was recently delayed until September because of backlogs in the issuing office. |

Thanks | If you have goverment issued photo id (I used my drivers licences), you should have no problem getting into the US from Mexico if you walk accross the border or drive accross the border, I did it a week ago. My recomendation though, is to walk accross the border, it only took me about 40 minutes to wait online, and only about 5 minutes to check my id (I also did not buy anything, so I did not need to worry about taxes).
If you fly or take a boat/cruise to Mexico you do need a passport.
A passport will be required to walk/drive accross the Mexico border in 2008 | |

A passport will be required to walk/drive accross the Mexico border in 2008 | The rules may differ with the different cruise lines, but when I took my cruise to Mexico I did not need a passport, but I did have to go through customs when I got home. | |

There was a law implemented recently which says all US residents traveling to Mexico and the Caribbean are required to have a valid passport. It's still not fully implemented, but if your cruise was a year or two ago, it wasn't needed. | |

Those rules were originally to go in effect earlier this year, but have been suspended due to the overload of passport requests. | |
