We strongly advise you to use travellers checks instead. We will provide you with the necessary information in this case. In case you have a grant or scholarship, you must bring a statement of financial support. In case of married couples, you must bring your marriage certificate and if children accompany you, bring their birth certificate. These documents must be legalized by the nearest Mexican Consulate before you travel to Mexico.
Students can choose from several housing options.
The Escuela de Extranjeros operates a Home Stay Program which will enable you to establish an intercultural relationship with a carefully selected family. There are no official student residences at the majority of Mexican universities, and this is the case at the Universidad Veracruzana as well. International students are advised to purchase medical insurance that is valid in Mexico before travelling to this country, as the Universidad Veracruzana does not provide this service. It is advisable to arrive a week before classes begin so that you make your housing arrangements, attend the orientation session, and make your final selection of courses.
