While Green Card Holders do not need a visa for short visits to Mexico, they may be required to fill out a Forma Migratory Multiple (FMM), also known as a tourist card. This card is typically provided by airlines or at the port of entry. It grants the holder permission to stay in Mexico for a specific period for tourism purposes.
The FMM will specify the length of time a green card holder is allowed to stay in Mexico. It's essential to adhere to this timeframe to avoid any legal issues.
Green Card Holders should ensure that their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their intended departure date from Mexico.
Green Card Holders should be aware of the requirements for re-entering the United States. It's crucial to have a valid green card and other necessary documents when returning.

3. Lost or Stolen BelongingsCoverage for lost or stolen belongings, including luggage, passports, and other valuables, can be crucial.

To qualify for Medicare, you must have worked in the US for 40 quarters (10 years) or have a Green Card for at least 5 years.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) had made it mandatory for all US residents to have health insurance, however the compulsory insurance requirement has been waived and it is now no longer mandatory to have health insurance. However, given the very high cost of US healthcare, where a regular Doctor’s consultation can take hundreds of Dollars, and Hospitalization overnight can involve thousands, or even tens of thousands of Dollars, it is very risky to be living in the US without any health insurance.
Green Card Holders can buy the health insurance on American Visitor Insurance if they do not have group health insurance from any employer, or if they are not yet eligible for US Medicare or for other domestic health insurance. The medical insurance for Green Card Holders that we offer will however not cover preventive care and has limited coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
Green Card Holders who are employed in the United States are generally eligible to participate in employer-sponsored health insurance plans, similar to U.S. citizens. It's advisable to check with the employer to understand the available options and any eligibility requirements.
There is no specific requirement for Green Card Holders to have medical insurance under U.S. immigration law. However, it is highly recommended to have health insurance coverage to protect against unexpected medical expenses given the very expensive cost of US healthcare.
