  MEXICO  Visas and Consulates

Visas

Citizens from The United States and Canada don’t need a passport to enter Mexico; an official identification with a photograph and something indicating the nationality, such as a birth certificate, is enough. This is not valid for citizens of another nationality resident in The United States, who must show their residence card, so as Canadian immigrants, who need a valid passport and the original document of immigration.

In spite of that, it is recommended to present the passport when entering Mexico, because customs officers are accustomed to them, and waiting for an authorization to enter the country may mean a long time.

There are several countries that don’t require a visa to enter Mexico as a tourist; having a valid passport is enough.Next, a list of them:

Belice Canadá
Chile Corea del Sur
Costa Rica Dinamarca
Ecuador Estados Unidos
Finlandia Francia
Grecia Guatemala
Holanda Hungria

Citizens from countries not included in the list must verify at the local Mexican Consulate to ask for a visa.Some of the countries that need a visa are South Africa, Brazil, and some countries from Eastern Europe, among some others.

Visa Extensions

The tourist card, which will allow you to enter Mexico, as your entrance and exit permit, normally allows you a stay of up to 180 days.In some cases, such as Argentinean, French and Greek citizens, this permit only lasts 90 days.

When the total of days appearing in your card is inferior to the maximum of days you can stay in the country, then you may ask for a free extension of the permit to reach the limit of days belonging to you according to your nationality.

In case you exceed the number of days allowed for your visit, you may ask for an extension of your tourist card at the Delegacion de Servicios Migratorios (several cities have these offices).To do this, you need your passport, the tourist card, a ticket to leave Mexico, and a proof of enough resources to stay in the country for more time.
