Entry or entry into Mexico is conditional on the approval of the health and immigration authorities at the points of entry into the country, known as immigration filters, who may at any time conduct an interview about the reason for their trip and verify the requirements established in the applicable legal provisions (Article 37 of the Migration Law and 60 of its Regulations).
