"You should bring clothing and accessories that are suitable for Mexico's warm climate, such as light and breathable fabrics and sunglasses. Make sure to bring any necessary documents, such as passports and visas, to present at the Mexico border. It is also wise to include some items for basic living in your new home, such as bed linen, kitchenware, towels, and cleaning supplies. Don't forget to pack important medicines and toiletries.
