  1. Mexico

    Kosovo row notes

    Before
    Consular visitor visa required — BUT holders of a valid visa for the US, Canada, the UK, Japan or a Schengen country are exempt and can enter visa-free for up to 180 days.
    After
    No official source we could find states whether Kosovar citizens need a visa: INM's lists of nationalities that do and do not need a visa name neither Kosovo. We show the stricter rule — a consular visitor visa — and holders of a valid visa of the US, Canada, Japan, the UK or a Schengen country (or permanent residence there or in Chile, Colombia or Peru) can enter without a Mexican visa for up to 180 days. Confirm with a Mexican consulate before booking.

  2. Mexico

    SAE processing time

    Before
    {"minDays": 0, "maxDays": 1, "unit": "calendar-days"}
    After
    null (not stated)

  3. Mexico

    FAQ: is the FMM still required

    Before
    The paper FMM has been phased out at all major airports and most land crossings — your passport stamp (or digital record) is now the proof of legal entry. Note the number of days written in the stamp; that is your permitted stay. A few minor land crossings may still issue the paper form.
    After
    Only if you enter by land: INM requires a completed FMM at land crossings. At international airports there is no form to fill in — your passport stamp, showing your expected departure date, is the proof of legal entry, and you can download the digital FMM (FMMd) during your stay.

  4. Mexico

    Tip: FMM

    Before
    Entry to Mexico is free for visa-free tourists. The paper FMM has been phased out at airports, and third-party websites selling "Mexico tourist cards" or "entry registrations" are unnecessary.
    After
    Entry to Mexico is free for visa-free tourists. Air arrivals no longer fill in an FMM, and third-party websites selling "Mexico tourist cards" or "entry registrations" are unnecessary.

  5. Mexico

    FMM tourist card (where it is still required)

    Before
    The paper FMM tourist card has been phased out at all major airports and most land crossings in favor of a passport stamp or digital record. If you receive a stamp, note the number of days written in it — that, not 180, is your permitted stay. Some minor land crossings may still issue an FMM.
    After
    At international airports you no longer fill in an FMM: the immigration officer stamps your passport with your expected departure date, and you can download the digital FMM (FMMd) afterwards. Note the date in the stamp — that, not 180 days, is your permitted stay. If you enter by land, you must present a completed FMM at the immigration filter.

  6. Mexico

    Visa-holder waiver (who qualifies)

    Before
    Travelers of any nationality holding a valid US visa (or a valid visa/residence permit of Canada, the UK, Japan or a Schengen country) may enter Mexico visa-free for up to 180 days.
    After
    Travelers of any nationality holding a valid visa of the US, Canada, Japan, the UK or a Schengen country, or permanent residence in one of those countries or in Chile, Colombia or Peru (Pacific Alliance), may enter Mexico without a Mexican visa for up to 180 days.

  7. Mauritius

    Ebola entry restriction (new)

    Before
    not listed
    After
    Foreign nationals who have travelled from, transited through or been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or South Sudan within the previous 21 days are not allowed to enter Mauritius, unless they hold a valid work, residence or occupation permit, business visa or student visa. Those permit and visa holders, and Mauritian nationals, may enter but must complete 21 days of mandatory quarantine.

  8. Mauritius

    Currency declaration

    Before
    Cash or bearer instruments worth MUR 500,000 or more (roughly USD 10,000) must be declared on arrival and departure.
    After
    No official source we could read publishes Mauritius's cash-declaration threshold. Declare large sums of cash to Customs on arrival and departure.

  9. Mauritius

    Travel insurance

    Before
    Insurance is not an entry requirement, but visitors use private clinics and costs add up — standard travel cover is recommended.
    After
    No official source makes insurance a condition of entry. The UK government advises adequate travel health insurance: good private healthcare is available but can be expensive, and complex cases may need evacuation to Réunion or South Africa.

  10. Mauritius

    Yellow fever certificate

    Before
    required when arriving from a risk country
    After
    not required (entry removed)

  11. Mauritania

    Currency rules

    Before
    Import and export of the ouguiya is restricted, and large amounts of foreign currency should be declared on arrival. Confirm current thresholds with Mauritanian customs before travel.
    After
    It is illegal to take Mauritanian ouguiyas out of the country, and the authorities may confiscate them. No official source we could read publishes a threshold for declaring foreign currency; exchange US dollars or euros only at banks, hotels or official bureaux de change.

  12. Mauritania

    Travel insurance

    Before
    Not required for entry, but strongly recommended — medical facilities are very limited outside Nouakchott and serious cases need evacuation, so carry cover that includes medical evacuation.
    After
    No official source makes insurance a condition of entry. The UK government advises insurance for local treatment and medical evacuation: medical facilities are extremely limited, particularly outside Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, and clinics charge for care, sometimes in euros or US dollars.

  13. Marshall Islands

    Arrival card (text)

    Before
    All arrivals complete a paper immigration arrival card and customs declaration, given out on the flight. It asks for your address in Majuro and your departure flight. The same details the immigration officer uses to set your stay.
    After
    No official source we could find describes the arrival or customs form. UK government advice says you must declare anything prohibited or subject to tax or duty, and cash worth more than USD 10,000.

  14. Marshall Islands

    Travel insurance (text)

    Before
    Insurance is not required for entry and is not checked. It is nonetheless close to essential: Majuro Hospital and the Ebeye clinic provide basic care only, dental and specialist services are minimal, and serious cases are flown to Honolulu or Guam. Confirm your policy covers air ambulance from a remote Pacific island, and diving cover if you plan wreck dives.
    After
    No official source we could find states whether travel insurance is required to enter the Marshall Islands. Majuro Hospital and the Ebeye clinic provide basic care only and serious cases are flown to Honolulu or Guam, so cover with air evacuation is worth having.

  15. Mali

    Insurance, onward ticket, funds and currency texts

    Before
    "not checked at the border" / "not systematically checked" / "limits apply to exporting CFA francs"
    After
    say plainly that no official source states a requirement or limit

  19. Maldives

    Before
    90 days
    After
    30 days

  21. Malaysia

    Ukraine stay

    Before
    90 days: Ukrainian citizens are listed as visa-free, though sources differ on whether the stay is 30 or 90 days. Confirm with a Malaysian mission before booking. MDAC required within 3 days before arrival.
    After
    not published: Ukraine is not on the Immigration Department's list of nationalities that need a visa, so Ukrainians enter visa-free, but no official Malaysian page states how long the stay is. Confirm with a Malaysian mission before booking. MDAC required within 3 days before arrival.

  22. Malaysia

    Yellow fever

    Before
    A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if you arrive from, or transited through, a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.
    After
    A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required of travellers aged 1 year or over arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission, or who transited for more than 12 hours through an airport in one.

  23. Malawi

    Passport rows BF, CM, LK: source and notes

    Before
    eVisa, citing the portal front page
    After
    eVisa unchanged; cites the Category One list, records the Category Two listing as a conflict (stricter wins)

  24. Malawi

    Insurance, onward ticket, funds and currency texts

    Before
    "not an entry requirement" / "not formally required" / "kwacha is subject to exchange controls"
    After
    say plainly that no official source states a requirement or limit

  25. Malawi

    Before
