Instructions for Securing a Mexican Visa
|
U.S. citizens are not required to secure a visa in advance of travel to the country.
You may stay in the country without a visa for a stay of up to 90 days.
The requirement for having a Passport or Passcard for land and sea crossings into the U.S. has not yet been established as law. Everyone entering the U.S. by air must have a valid passport.
The government is talking about a date in mid-2008 to require a Passport or Passcard for entrance to the U.S. by land and sea, but we do not think it will be able to meet that date. Our expectation is that the requirement for having a Passport or Passcard for land and sea crossings into the U.S. will be implemented in the first six months of 2009, but certainly no later than June 30, 2009. Meanwhile, until then, you can enter the U.S. by land or sea with a state-issued photo I.D. and an original or certified copy of your birth certificate or a valid passport. If you are flying into the U.S., you must have a valid passport in your possession.
You may stay in the country without a visa for a stay of up to 90 days. When a child under 18 travels with only one parent or no parent, Mexico states that the parent not accompanying the child or both parents not accompanying the child must give written and notarized authorization for the child to enter Mexico. If the parents are divorced, the parent accompanying the child must show a court order authorizing sole custody. If one parent is deceased, a death certificate is required.

U.S. citizens are required to present proof of their United States citizenship AND proof of identity.

There are 191 countries in the world and each one has different visa arrangements with the 190 other countries. It is not possible for us to maintain current visa requirements for all nationalities to all countries.
For this reason we do not process all non-U.S. citizens' visa applications on the Internet. If you are not a U.S. citizen, reside in the US, and wish to travel to Mexico, please follow the link below to complete and submit the request form for non-U.S. residents. We will dispatch a courier to the requested embassy, verify in person the requirements, obtain all needed forms, and contact you via email with the requirements for securing a Mexican visa. We serve non-U.S. citizens only if they are legally residing in the United States.
