    I’ll actively try to avoid that. There’s been a time in which I thought it could have been interesting to visit that country, but the time has passed.

      It’s so sad. We have a beautiful country and most people are very nice.

        I guess so, but recent news aren’t exactly inspiring. I’m really sorry for you (and I say that from an EU country with shitty politicians as well).

    I’ve never travel outside of Mexico before, but let’s say, I do want to travel to a country that do not ask you for a visa, BUT, to get to that country my plane do need to make a stopover in the US. Do I do need visa just for that stopover in the US?

      Not if you transfer directly to another plane, you only need a Visa if you go through passport control.

        Most airports do it like this, but I’ve been to places hat need a transit visa just to get to your next flight. Odds are you are correct for a US connection.

          Yeah it varies from one airport to another. It can also depends on layover time. In Hong Kong (on my way from Aus to Vietnam) I had to leave through customs to get to another part of the airport and enter through customs to get my connection. I was fingerprinted and facemapped both ways.

          If I had been leaving via a gate closer to where I arrived, I wouldn’t have had to do that.

          Similar happened when connecting in Kuala Lumpur where the layover was 9 hours due to typhoon and the airline forced me to leave the airport, allegedly to go to a hotel they comped me, but I doubled back and snuck into a closed off area where someone forgot to lock out an elevator to sleep for a bit. They force you to leave the airport so there are fewer people just milling about for hours.
