Yes. Under this final rule, Mexican citizens, just like U.S., Canadian and Bermudan citizens, are required to present a passport for air travel. The BCC, while currently serving in lieu of a passport and visa for land border crossings within the border region, may also be used as a visitor’s visa. However, due to the unique circumstances of air travel, it was felt that the additional presentation of a passport was necessary.
