Visa & Entry

Mexican passport holders need a B1/B2 visa to enter the United States. The visa is obtained through a US embassy or consulate and requires an in-person interview. B1/B2 visas are typically issued for 10 years with stays of up to 6 months per entry.

For land crossings within the border zone, a Border Crossing Card (BCC) is an alternative. The BCC costs USD 185 and is valid for 10 years. It allows entry up to 25 miles from the border in Texas and California, or 55 miles in New Mexico and Arizona. Travel by air or beyond the border zone requires a full B1/B2 visa with a valid passport.

Metro Blue Line from T1-Lindbergh to downtown Minneapolis (Warehouse/Hennepin) takes 25–28 minutes ($2.50). T2-Humphrey has its own Blue Line stop. Trains run frequently 5am–1am. Taxis from T1 to downtown Minneapolis cost $25–40; to St. Paul $30–45.Ride-hail pickup is on the ground level outside baggage claim. Rental car center is connected to T1 via the tram system. Mall of America (Bloomington) is 13 minutes by Blue Line; useful if connecting to suburban destinations. MSP is unusually well-integrated with regional transit for a US airport.

Minneapolis Climate

Humid continental climate. One of the coldest major hub airports in the United States. Winters are severe (−15 to −2°C, November–March) with heavy snow and extreme cold snaps. Delta's de-icing operation at MSP is among the largest in the US, but heavy blizzards cause ground stops and cascading delays. Wind chill below −30°C occurs multiple times each winter.

Summers are warm and pleasant (22–30°C) with occasional severe thunderstorms in June–August. Spring brings tornado risk in the broader region. MSP has a strong snow operations record. Cancellations happen, but the airport manages heavy snowfall better than many eastern hubs. Pack serious winter gear from November through March.
