I will tell you how I could make a difference my friend works at the airport and one of the central American countries and he told me that the issue is flights leaving and coming into the country the manifest is downloaded into the computer and scanned now I’ve had mixed luck But why take the chance it seems that the whole airport procedure with the manifest and immigration is what causes most of the travel problems I would rather be safe than sorry once you get banned in Mexico you’re banned for life even if you get off the registry they’re going to deny you I’ve learned not to take chances anymore call me conservative but I was very aggressive before and I’ve been sent back numerous times it doesn’t happen anymore and I travel freely because I follow those principles

walk back across the border or fly you will be stopped so the chances of you getting banned by flight or walking across back into the united states are the same. that’s why i said fly because you are leaving Mexico not coming in and your ticket will be to your city not at a crossing on the border. The odds of you being banned leaving are far lower than they are of you trying to enter so walk in fly out is the best option. if they catch you on the flight out what are they going to do send you home? that’s where you are going anyhow

I would not fly back from Mexico unless you have some people that have done this with no problems because it could be a issue to cause your ban in the future just my opinion

i never said do not give your 21 day notice all i said is that when you enter Mexico from the United Sates they rarely stop anyone. so you could cross at a border state and tell the federal authorities 21 days before you enter that specific spot, and odds are you will still not get stopped entering Mexico. once your in Mexico you can travel to almost any city or location in mexico legally. If you are stopped coming back in and you are flagged you will get into no trouble as you reported your trip in advance or even better fly back from mexico to a city close to your home, that way all you will have to deal with is the usual hassle you get from our immigration department and be pulled out of line while they search your devices and let you go hours after they pull you aside.

Agree mostly however technically you still suppose to give 21 days notice and entry point of your intended entry. I know many people don’t but imagine getting arrested coming back when they don’t see your sorna travel notice. Some states might be different my experience is from Florida

Mexico is weird because if you fly into Mexico chances are high you may get rejected but if you fly to the border and walk over they rarely stop you from coming in and from their you take transportation to the city you want to visit. the tough part for most as you may know is coming back because they will I.D. You coming back to America but only to make sure your a united states citizen so a passport and drivers license should get you passed through easily. So if you want to go to Mexico fly to a border state and walk over is my advice i have known many to do it and not get stopped. Jamaica and DR are a definite No entry situations even if you get permission. The only decision that matters in those two places is the decision of border security or their ICE and they will not allow any RSO’s in. Good news is there are islands that are just as nice in that area that allow us.

Sadly not something I believe is a good idea to be public about but I personally would not fly to those destinations directly from the USA as listed destinations with a travel notice. I believe it also makes a difference to immigration when considering if it was a adult victim or underage. Don’t risk a ban in those countries computers. It’s going to cost more money but you need to go someplace you know is ok and then decide other difficult destinations. I am in a private group of travelers and we all follow these rules with success. Personally I will never fly in Mexico probably from another country but I will go through the land crossing’s .
Consider another island to get to the DR and Jamaica. I have not been to Jamaica personally but I have been to the DR but not by.

What are some of the banned countries you have been to? I’m trying to go to DR, Mexico and Jamaica. Any luck?

None of these websites are perfect and none will definitely give you a yes or no answer. They are more for guidance and giving you the input of others. The most important thing is that they put a lot of information together in one place. Rtag is important because by Angel Watch’s own statistics about 1/2 of all people that they send notices on are refused entry into a country. RTag’s goal is that everyone knows the countries that they will be most likely turned away from so they take this into consideration when making travel plans. RTag isn’t perfect. It is only the best one out there at this point.

I find all these travel blogs including new to be very misleading because it’s never a one situation fits all what I can say is almost any country that gets a notice is going to hassle or turn you around. Don’t make advance plans pick a country that will allow you to enter and go to your destination many of us do travel this way and go to many if not all to the so called banned countries. I am always told this is a USA issue these countries don’t want the drama no notice they let you in. Land crossings are easier also. If you don’t want to put some effort in your travel and think simply to follow the rules to the T understand they are made to prevent you and are not fair nor implemented the same for everybody. I am not saying to break simply to follow the rules within the guidelines that allow you to get into and avoid getting hassled.
