Cancun

The city of Cancun is located on the northwest coast of the state of Quintana Roo, in southeastern Mexico, 1,700 km from Mexico City. Cancun International Airport (CUN) is Mexico's second busiest airport, after Mexico City International Airport, but the biggest for international passengers. It has a wide range of domestic and international flights connecting 7 cities in Mexico, 24 in the U.S., 7 in Europe and 6 in Central and South America.

Travel to Mexico

Many people do not need to apply for a visa to enter Mexico for leisure and business trips of 80 days or less. These include passport holders from the U.S., Canada, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, many (but not all) EU countries, Switzerland, Israel, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand as well as a number of South American countries including Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Venezuela.

If you don’t hold a passport from one of the countries on the ‘exempt’ list, you may need to apply for an entry visa before you travel to Mexico.

Check your nationality here to see if you need a visa to enter Mexico or not

An invitation letter for IWBF delegates to the conference to be used in the visa application can be obtained from the conference secretariat. Please contact c.roberts.2@warwick.ac.uk
