Operator ID (paid, yearly) for camera drones or ≥250 g, Flyer ID test for ≥250 g, 120 m ceiling, large London restriction zones.

Very low 100 g threshold — nearly every drone must be registered in DIPS 2.0 before arrival. DID zones, night, and >150 m need advance MLIT permission.

≥250 g needs registration AND a pilot certificate (Basic or Advanced exam). Sub-250 g is largely exempt but common-sense rules apply.

Foreigners effectively cannot register drones ≥250 g (CURP required) — bring a sub-250 g drone or don't fly. Enforcement varies; confiscation risk at some sites.
