Mexico City, Mexico — To safeguard the health of employees of the United States embassy and consulates in Mexico, services will be suspend as of March 18. The US consulates in Mexico say they intend to suspend services due to the spread of the Covid 19.
“The health and safety of those who work at and visit our embassy and consulate facilities is our highest priority. In response to the global pandemic COVID-19, and in line with the Mexican government’s call to increase social distancing, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City and all U.S. consulates in Mexico will suspend routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa services starting March 18, 2020, and until further notice. The U.S. Embassy and consulates will continue to provide essential consular services to U.S. citizens as well as emergency visa services,” they reported.
