INDEX OF ALL states AND LOCATIONSVisa Requirements
Nationals of many countries who intend to stay for less than 180 days for the purpose of tourism or business do not require a visa to enter Mexico. These countries include Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, the UK and Ireland among many others. Citizens of these countries will be required to complete an immigration form for tourists, businessmen or women, stopovers or "visiting advisors", which can be obtained in travel agencies, airlines or at the point of entry to Mexico. Be aware there will be a nominal charge for this process so ensure you have adequate funds. Citizens of other countries will need to obtain a visa from their local Mexican embassy or consulate prior to arrival in Mexico. All visitors may be required to show immigration officials proof of return or onward tickets and adequate means of support and accommodation upon entering Mexico .
If you are travelling to Mexico through the United States of America, or if you are transiting in Honolulu or other USA points of entry, you are required to meet USA entry/transit requirements. All visitors are required to have their passport stamped for entry into Mexico. This will avoid problems when the passport is checked by authorities at a later stage during travel in Mexico, and will also ensure that no fine is payable on departure.
Children under 18 years of age who are travelling with only one parent or guardian, regardless of their nationality, are required to present a notarized, written consent of the non-travelling parent or guardian to enter Mexico. Those travelling with children are advised to contact their local Mexican embassy or consulate for further information.
It is advisable to ensure that your passport has at least six months validity when visiting any foreign country.
As entry requirements may change from time to time it is strongly advised that you check with the department of foreign affairs or your local consulate or embassy for the current requirements.
