New to this site and not alot of response to my query of last April. Lemme try again.
I will be driving from the Dallas area, through Laredo and on to San Miguel de Allende. I have been doing this since '81, so I know the way.
My questions revolve around 1) the need for covid vax proof in order to cross and obtain visa, 2) security issues while driving; especially
in Nuevo Laredo.
I plan to go in July and would appreciate any current insight into the issues I noted or any others I should be aware of.
Thanks
p0p

Not much has changed since I responded to your post back in April. With the exception that the "filtros sanitarios" as you enter San Miguel appear to have been suspended. No official word as of yet, however. As a refresher, that post copied and pasted:
"You do not need proof of negative covid test. Last I read, was that 'officially' borders are still closed (wink, wink) to non-essential travel. That may have changed with some border states now being green. But not enforced. If you have residency, that is permanent or temporary, you are exempt. There have been some issues with robberies in Nuevo Laredo, with reports of tránsitos being complicit. As a result, there have been police escorts/caravans from Aduana where people get their TIP's, to km 21. Lately I've avoided crossing at Laredo/Nuevo and opted for Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras for that reason. A bit longer but safer, IMO. And I've been crossing for over 10 years. Recently here in San Miguel, 'filtros sanitarios' have been set up at the entrances to the city from Queretaro, Celaya & Dolores. Supposedly you're supposed to have a QR code proving either a hotel or restaurant reservation unless you can prove residency before you're allowed to enter. The reality is they rarely ask for the code, just a temp & mask check. There is a filter just before where we live and I've never been asked for anything. Although I do have gto plates. There is no filter on the Rodriguez road."
