Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay Enforce Valid Passport Requirements

Authorities across Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and Paraguay are currently clarifying specific passport validity conditions for international arrivals. Mexico requires passports to remain valid throughout a visitor's stay and at the point of departure, without specifying a minimum validity period. Venezuela mandates a minimum passport validity of 90 days from the arrival date for foreign nationals, though citizens from Mercosur countries may use national ID cards. For Colombia, a valid passport is essential for travellers from non-exempt nations, with a recommended Check-Mig form submission up to 72 hours prior to travel. Paraguay stipulates a fully valid passport for all non-resident visitors, excepting Mercosur citizens, and imposes potential fines for those overstaying the maximum 90-day period without regularisation.
