My recent travel to Cancun was confusing. I thought the FMM was needed, it wasn't. I did receive a 180 day stay. A week later I crossed into Belize for eight days and when I returned, the agent asked how long my stay would be in Mexico and I received 14 days, which matched the date of departure back to the states. Therefore, if I wanted to extend my stay, well, it would have been a process.
Excellent video, thanks!
what were the covid restrictions for cancun? any prior testing needed? vaccine requirements? quarentines? im going early march.
Hi Cloey! There aren’t currently any COVID travel restrictions for Cancun. It should be a smooth travel process for you. No testing. No vaccine requirements. No quarantines. I hope that helps! Enjoy your trip! 😊
@@MixedinMexicohello dear, do indian person need a mexico visa to enter for some days. I have my canadian work permit but not visa yet. I've applied for one. Can i enter mexico from india with just Canadian work permit or i need mexico visa😊
we entered mexico from Canada oct 26th 2022 through Benito Juárez International Airport terminal 2 (Mexico city) and we did NOT need a tourist card, they just asked us our stay time and wrote it in on the passport with our entry stamp.
Did they ask for anything else?
@@aymanq.2116 nope. To play it safe if possible Id have maybe my return ticket handy or maybe the receipt for my hotel just in case they question how long you plan on staying.
They didn’t ask me for a return ticket, I just told him I had one and he took my word for it; I needed 9 days and he gave me 15.
I went through customs and migration yesterday and it was pretty much the worst experience I have ever had. They checked the luggage of everyone by hand and and looked at all items, touched everything etc. Customs were yelling at me for no reason. The migration process was a nightmare. I had to wait 3 hours in a q and the officer didn't understand a single word of english. I endes up getting 10 days even though my flight back goes in 35 days.
Hi guys. I’m going to Puerto Vallarta in October. We want to go for 10 days. Vacation. I’m so confused on weather I need to have a fmm form or not. I do have my passport. Does anybody know what I need to fly into puerto Vallarta from the United States?

Okay, so if you're traveling from the USA (via flying) you will only need your passport and accommodations (like stay) for entering cancun airport?
Yep! @shardaehoward6182 That is correct! 👍🏽
The Mexican immigration officer at the counter found everything correct and was going to stamp and me go, but came his boss (a woman officer) tried to look for any reason to lock me in the long procedures, when she found no reasons, she asked me "can you provide contracts with your clients to prove your company and income?" .. I smiled and knew she wants to detain me for whatever reason and so I stayed 4 hours answering same questions again and again, I believe there is a lot of discrimination and corruption there.
So sad. I was abused too by Mexican immigration. Where are u from?

I'm travelling from the UK to Cancun in July 24, is a Tourist Card now needed?
insurance is required for visiting mexico ? Please
Added Airports Cuidad Mexico City and Acapulco.
Thank you! 😊
Hello , soon to visit Cancun Mexico for 10 days. Traveling from Paris, France do I need other documents to provide or I something have to pay first before my flight?
Thank you so much
Hi @ma.teresallanos173 Passport holders from France do not require any documentation for stays under 180 days in Mexico. Nor will you be enforced to pay anything prior to your arrival. It should hopefully be a smooth and seamless travel experience for you. I hope that helps! 😊 Enjoy your travels!
When I click on the FMM web site, it will only allow me to select "By Land" as entry, not air... I've tried different PCs... anyone else have this ?
Hi @jacklewis100 I just verified; you are indeed correct! I now only see "By Land" as an option to access the FMM form ahead of time. That is very new! They must have fast-approaching plans to eliminate the use of the form at all airports. Only time will tell. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Hello , I am currently in Ghana ( Africa ) and I want to travel to Nicaragua but I have to take a connected flight in Mexico before I enter Nicaragua. Should I have to apply for the FMM card ?
Hi @lynkolnekwayie1163 Chances are, you will be flying into/through one of the international airports here in Mexico and almost all of them have eliminated the use of the physical FMM forms [as you have seen in this video]. Whether or not you will need to obtain a VISA however, for transit through a Mexican airport depends on several factors; including whether your layover exceeds 24hours or if you intend on leaving the airport at all. To be sure, I would check with your particular airline to see what they suggest in your instance. I hope that helps!
How many days can a U.S resident stay in Mexico? Without losing their residency
Hi @elindigeno1215 Usually permanent residents of the U.S. cannot be outside of the country for more than 365 consecutive days without abandoning their immigration status. If you plan on being outside of the U.S. for longer than those 12 consecutive months [365 days], you should fill a re-entry permit form I-131 which could grant you permission to be out of the country for up to 2 years without affecting your immigration status. I hope that helps!
Hi dear , hope you are fine and doing well, i want to travel from Turkey with Turkey Passport , as i heard in Mexico airport mostly they return the Tourist visa holders , can you plz advise me any other airport or way ?
thanks
Hi Asif! Turkey is among the list of countries that require a VISA for entry into Mexico for travel and tourism. I cover which countries need or don't need a VISA for entry into Mexico in this video: th-cam.com/video/PDClwnSBo6c/w-d-xo.html And I cover how to make an appointment at the Mexican Consulate for a VISA here: th-cam.com/video/8ho46iLUFpg/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps!
Thanks for the content!!! I’m a wife as well trying to do the same thing that you accomplished. We are in phase 1. You should offer consultations for a price. I’d definitely pay for it as I have a few questions. Thank you!
That’s so sweet of you to say!! Thank you so much Basha. 😊 I hope our videos prove helpful along your journey. I’m rooting for you guys!! Please do let me know if you have any questions along the way. Feel free to DM me on my Instagram @MixedinMexico
We are driving from Texas to Ajijic. What online website would you recommend to obtain a Mexico FMM. Thanks!
Hi Carol! We've had success using this website: www.inm.gob.mx/fmme/publico/en/solicitud.html
I've also included it in the description portion of the video if you need to refer back to it. I hope it helps! Safe travels! 🚗
Helooooo !! Question . Im flying into Mexico on Sunday. So do i get my FMM at the Mexican INM ? Or in the states. Im applying for my Temporary residency in Mexico.
Hello mam
How are you? I watched your videos and I find them very informative but you didn’t give any information for Indian passport holders. I am going to Georgia on tourist visa . From there Can I come to mexico with a tourist Visa card without a tourist visa.
Please reply me fast
Thanks 🙏 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hi @youtubethekedar If you receive a VISA from the US, you can travel to Mexico with that visa permission as long as it remains valid during the duration of your travels to Mexico. I would confirm with your airline and/or local Mexican Consulate prior to travel, however, to ensure you have all the proper documentation prior to your departure date. I hope that helps!
Hi, I'm having trouble filling up the tourist card they asking me of point of entry but Cancun wasn't there to choose?
Hi @DyCars Cancun is a part of the pilot program mentioned in this video that has removed the need for the FMM form; so that may be why it isn't an option. I hope this helps! Enjoy your travels!
Try Quintana Roo
Hi, I will be flying to Cabo Mexico. I have a Jamaican passport but I’m flying from the US as I currently live here, we leave from Orlando then land in Cancun then fly to Cabo do I need the travel card?
so i don't need to fill out the FMM form , i'm going to Puerto Vallarta in 2 weeks , thanks
Hi @burrito35 Nope! It should be a smooth entry & exit out of the Puerto Vallarta airport, with no need to fill out a physical FMM form. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels! 😊👍🏽
@@MixedinMexico ❤️ 😍 💖
If you flight to mexico you can get fmm at the airport when arrive????
Yep! @Mish if it is required for your arrival airport into Mexico, they will be available at the airport as well as-in most cases-the aircraft. 😊👍🏽
Hello I am currently in Oaxaca Mexico but I lost my FMM any advice on what I can do?
Hi Yasmin! You always have the option to go to a local INM office and handle the matter; but a quicker option is to check for a copy of your FMM online first. You can simply re-print a copy for your records. If you need assistance finding your digital FMM, here is a video I made a few weeks back on the subject; I hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/eKv0SihCcGo/w-d-xo.html
Hi I have one doubt I’m from india currently I’m working in Croatia 🇭🇷.So I have temporary residency permit in Croatia I can travel for Mexico tourist if possible just let me know please
Hi @Europetamil. As of Jan 1st 2023, Croatia has officially become a Schengen Country. Being so, if you have a valid visa issued by Croatia, you should not need a travel visa for Mexico; regardless of your primary citizenship.
Here is a relevant reference for you: consulmex.sre.gob.mx/toronto/index.php/en/servicesforeigners/doclegalization/52-conservices/225-visitors-who-do-not-require-a-visa-with-a-stay-up-to-180-days#:~:text=Andorra%2C%20Argentina%2C%20Australia%2C%20Austria,%2C%20Jamaica%2C%20Japan%2C%20Latvia%2C

Hi can someone who lives in the uk, without a passport, travel from the uk to Mexico by plane with a travel document.

your pretty asf
Hello please i need an answer, can i have France 10 years refugee documents with a UN refugee travel passport can i visit Mexico without a visa?
I am trying to decide if I should file for dual citizenship for my son or just a permanent residency status until he is old enough to decide for himself. I was concerned about him not being protected by the USA if he ever had an issue.
That’s a tough decision. The major deciding factor why we went with Citizenship over Permanent Residency for my husband was the unique privilege of buying property close to the coast. But everyone’s situation is different.
I made a video on the pros and cons of both options: th-cam.com/video/zQvLI25T0I8/w-d-xo.html
I hope that helps! :)
If i Have B1 /B2 US visa , can I travel To mexico for two week?
I have a huge question.
I am from the USA and my wife is from Mexico we got married in dicembre 2021 and I got my temporal residence card in March 2022.
I’m 2023 a little before I had to pay for my 2nd year of residence I lost my residence card and due to me needing to leave due to a family emergency in the USA. I just figured I will figure it out later.
I am now going to be going through the whole process again after asking INM which does not bother me. But I have heard that the new E-Ticket type visas are creating some huge problems for people getting their visas. I will be getting my residence through vínculo Familiar.
I was wondering if you have any thoughts tips or what exactly should I do???
Hi James! Sorry to hear that! Glad you're handling it well. I'm assuming you are referring to the tickets generated by use of the new e-gates? It has been a hot topic lately. Please correct me if I'm wrong; as my response below is based on that assumption.
If you are going to re-do the entire process all over again using the tramite (linked below), you shouldn't have a problem using the e-gates if you so desire to, as you will be changing from a tourist status to a resident anyway. [That is the tramite I used for my residency, being married to a Mexican. I will also link a video that enumerates my experience & process doing so below.]
Video: th-cam.com/video/eFmkGNYWEZ8/w-d-xo.html
Tramite: www.inm.gob.mx/mpublic/publico/inm-tramites.html?a=thgeGuQHx2k%3D&tr=JWVA3UxyeZM%3D&h_sdp00=giUnJ9XgtISVcdYJXduIGw%3D%3D&h_dsplp02=en
However, if you first started the process at the Consulate and have a VISA sticker in your passport to next complete the process at the INM, then you will NOT want to use the e-gates; as you need to come in on a "canje" granted by the customs officials and the e-gates do not yet have that allowance. Using the e-gates will automatically make you come in as a tourist.
I hope that helps!
Hi if I stay in the USA do I need to complete those forms or will my passport be enough?
Hola i have s serious question ⁉️Only countries that don't need visa can fill this form???? Or even country requires visa or not. They can still travel through this form as a tourist??? ???
Hi. Whether your home country requires a VISA for travel into Mexico or not, the FMM form will be needed by all travelers [if you are flying into an airport in Mexico that is not participating in the pilot program to eliminate the use of the form]. You will be provided with the form upon entry, if it is needed. I hope this helps!
Hi, my whole family will be staying for 1 week to vidanta nuevo vallarta. We will be travelling from san diego california, do we need a visa if we are US citizen and non us citizen? Thank you
Hi @irenemarcos1538 U.S. passport holders do not need a visa for travel to Mexico; so that individual should have no problems. The non-U.S. citizen…it will depend on their current citizenship and/or which passports they may have. For a list of all the countries (in English) that do NOT need a visa for Mexico, she the TH-cam Short below. I hope that helps.

hi im traveling from USA I have an Australian passport I am confused about needing documentation I have my vista and and have filled out the toast card form but I don't understand how to download
Hi Wes. If you have your VISA permission and your Passport, that should be all you will need to enter the country and have a good time. If you need anything else, it will be given to you upon arrival. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels.
Hello mam I had a uk visa I'm from nepal I went through alot of hard work and did all the papers required for immigration entry for mexico but still I was denied do u have any idea why and any suggestions?
Hi @rajatimilsina3130 I'm sorry you had that experience. What I advise all my clients is to confirm with the local Mexican consulate; either by phone or by email prior to departure all the necessary paperwork & documentation, then be over-prepared to show proof of qualification for travel to Mexico. The airline and INM representatives have the power, but they don't always have the education and full knowledge of all allowances, sadly. I hope this helps!
I’m going to Cancun this June 2024. Do I needs to fill out any paperwork? Pease help
Hi Kim! If you are coming in on a passport that doesn’t require a VISA for Mexico (i.e. US, Canada, UK, etc.) then you will NOT need to fill out any paperwork before entering Cancun. 😊 it should be a fairly smooth entry for you. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels!!
Question... I tried the FMM form and the first option mentioned BY LAND and didn't allow me to select an airport. Your other vids are great.
Hi @HomeBoyandThePyramids Most major airports here in Mexico have eliminated the use of the FMM form for visitor use (for travel by air). If you are traveling to Mexico simply for tourism, you may never have a need for or see your FMM form anymore. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels. 😊👍🏽
Did you figure this out? I have not gone to Mexico since Nov 2022, before I'd go into the immigration office and get an FMM, upon exiting I'd go back and turn in the FMM. Now, I'm not sure what to do based on these new updates. I travel by land, I don't fly in. All of the videos that I keep seeing are regarding flying into Mexico.
I wanna apply for tourist visa to Mexico from Thailand but i am from Rwanda, and also there's a friend there who is been sick for long time i wanna visit him but i have an issue about medical insurance i have no idea about that and if i don't have insurance i will not be able to apply for visa?
Hi Olivier, usually insurance isn't a requirement for acquiring a visa for entry into Mexico. I would reach out to your local Mexican Consulate and see what may be needed in your case before you make an appointment though; if you have heard/seen otherwise. I hope that helps!
I have Greece Refugee Travel Document passport for 5 years so can I go mexico without visa
Hi Faisal. It depends on a number of circumstances. I am not yet familiar with Refugee Travel Documents for travel to Mexico; but if you hold a passport issued by Greece, you do not need a VISA to enter Mexico. As they are among the visa-free countries for travel to Mexico. (see link below) I hope that helps!

Hi
I am from Afghanistan and have UK tier 4 study visa and want to visit my friend on Mexico, do i need a visa to enter into Mexico?
Hi @hekmatibrahimi7 Based on the direct quote [below] from a Mexican Consulate, my answer would be: No, you should not need a visa for Mexico as long as your UK visa remains valid throughout the duration of your stay in Mexico. I hope that helps!
"In addition, foreign visitors who, regardless of their nationality, have a valid permanent resident card from Canada, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Peru, the United States of America, the United Kingdom or any of the countries comprising the Schengen Area, do not require a Mexican visa."

I would still double check with your local Mexican Consulate and/or preferred airline of transit to be certain of sure passage.
I am so lost , I will be going to Ixtapa next month , do I need to fill anything out ? I will only be there for 4 days , please help
Hi. No need to worry. If you need to fill anything out, it will given to you upon arrival. You don't need to do anything ahead of time. I hope that helps!
If I fly from the US into Guadalajara, will I get an FMM form on the flight before it lands in GDL?
Hi Deltawest. If you fly directly to Guadalajara in Mexico, then the answer will be no. That particular airport has eliminated the use of the physical FMM form, and instead will issue you one electronically after you enter, without you ever having to lift a pen. I hope that helps!
If you, for one reason or another, need to access your digital FMM form after you enter, this video may be of assistance: th-cam.com/video/eKv0SihCcGo/w-d-xo.html
Hey! So I have green card & Indian passport, do I need a visa traveling for a holiday?
@47akss If your green card is issued by the United States, you should not need a VISA for travel to Mexico for less than 180 days [as long as your green card remains valid during your travels]. I hope that helps!
Hi I have question I have Canadian travel document and PR card. I am planning to go to the Cancun. Do I need visa or extra document?
Hi @jansetranaaydin5334 If your permanent resident card is for Canada, you should have no problem traveling to Mexico visa-free, regardless of what passport you currently hold. No other documents will be necessary, upon arrival. I hope that helps!
Hi.. I am currently living in Canada and planning to travel to Cancun, Mexico 18th - 25th April, 2023. I have an Indian passport holding Canadian student visa which is valid till 30th April, 2023 and my spouse is having a Canadian work permit valid same as me. Please advice do we need Mexico visa to travel? TIA
Hi Palak! That's very exciting! It is my understanding that as long as you have a valid VISA from Canada [in your case] for the duration of your trip, you should not need a tourist VISA for your travels to Mexico with your Indian passport. My best piece of advice would be to reach out to your local Mexican Consulate in Canada and confirm you have all the proper documents needed for easy passage into Mexico. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels! 😊
Whats the deal with the Online Tourist Card requirement? (GDL) The only application link i can find is in Spanish. So frustrating.
Hi @zinclinger The Guadalajara International airport does not require an online tourist card, or FMM, prior to or upon arrival into the country. One will be issued for you electronically once you have cleared customs. I hope that helps!
@@MixedinMexico yes gracias!

Hello, sorry for this question as it may be a bit different from the content of this video:
- I am looking to travel to Riviera Maya, Mexico and I just realized my two kids passports expire on August 23 2023.(no option to pay 10 years for our kids only 5 years at time of application.)
- We will be in Mexico from July 21-28.
Will immigration give us any issues if our kids passports expire in September 2023? Ours expire in 2028.
Hi @ManchesterUtdFan. This is a bit difficult to answer with certainty because every custom's official is different and they have the ultimate "say so." But if it gives you any comfort, I honestly don't think it should be a problem; especially since your [the parents] passports have years of validity left. If you carry proof of accommodations and return tickets for everyone, that should be more than enough. I hope that helps!
For added [potential] reassurance; I have had friends who came down to Mexico for a quick trip and had their passports (accidentally/unknowingly) expire while on a week's vacation. The custom's official never even mentioned the approaching expiration when they arrived. So you never know.
@@MixedinMexico thank you!
Hi there can I just please ask as traveling to Mexico in a couple weeks and do I need to have any paper work to enter,only asking as do I have to go on line for anything.We are only staying for two weeks and flying from the ul.
Hi @RobboGsy it all depends on where you're coming from and flying to. If "ul" was a typo and you meant to type the "U.K," then you don't require a VISA for entry into Mexico; & the most you may need is an FMM, depending on the airport/vessel of entry. Most of the major international airports in Mexico have now eliminated the need for the physical FMM form; so if you are flying here, there's no need to fret! 😊 And even if your port of entry does require an FMM form, you will be provided with it when necessary.
If "ul" was indeed NOT a typo and you do not possess a passport from the "UK", then you'll have to just jog my memory on where that might be located in the world, so i can better/further assist you.
I hope that helps!
Going to Mexico city in a few days and read on my American Airline app that a tourist card is not needed if arriving to Mexico City airport 🤷♂️🤷♂️

I just bought tickets to fly Cancun in March , do I need fmm form? Or just passport
That's great! Enjoy your travels! ✈️ All you need is a valid passport for travel into the Cancun airport. [Assuming you're traveling from a non-VISA required country, like the U.S. or Canada] 👍🏽
I wanna apply for Mexican visa. I need your advice. The first do I have to apply for visa and then apply for an appointment. And Please can you send me the link for applying for visa. Thank You
Hi Jamshid. Your first step would be to determine if your home country (or the country which you hold a passport) requires a VISA for entry into Mexico. To verify that, you can refer to a previous video I made: th-cam.com/video/PDClwnSBo6c/w-d-xo.html After you confirm that, if you DO indeed need a VISA for entry into Mexico, the next step would then be to make a VISA appointment at your local/preferred Mexican Consulate. I also made a walk-through video on that process here: th-cam.com/video/8ho46iLUFpg/w-d-xo.html Every Consulate is different in what they may require; my suggestion would be to visit the website of your consulate appointment to determine your required documents.
@@MixedinMexico Thank You 😊
hey canadian work permit holder needs a visa for mexico???
Hi @PreetSingh-rc6lf If you hold a visa of any sort for Canada, you can travel to Mexico using that visa as a Sponsor Visa; so long as that visa remains valid during the duration of your time in Mexico. I hope that helps!
Can Indian citizen with student visa from Canada visit Mexico?
@nikhilgoria7591 Yes. I would just confirm with your local Mexican Consulate and/or airline prior to your departure to make sure you have all the needed documentation/paperwork. I hope that helps!
hey, I want to fill in the form but there is no Benito Juárez international Airport option. how is this possible? 🤔
Hey Aesura! We’ve noticed that some of the pilot program airports aren’t an option. It could be that the Benito Juárez location is being added to the current list. If that is the case; no worries, the FMM form may not be needed. Otherwise, they may just hand out the form on the aircraft or upon arrival.
Let me know how it goes for you? It may be helpful to others with the same concern.
Tnx for helpful information. If I got a humanitarian visa of mexico. From outside of mexico can I travel to mexico?
Hi Andualem. No problem. If you have a valid Mexican VISA, you are able to travel to Mexico from anywhere in the world so long as your VISA remains valid. I hope that helps!
I have a 2 years Residence permit of Italy, do i need visa for visit Mexico?
Because Italy is a part of the Schengen Area, as long as your Italian resident permit remains valid, you should be able to travel to Mexico as a tourist VISA-free. Every situation can be unique though, so my best piece of advice would be to contact your local Mexican Consulate/Embassy in Italy to verify you have all the proper documentation for smooth travel. I hope that helps!
Hi can I travel to Mexico with single entry schengen visa.
Hey Olufemi. It is my understanding that if you have any kind of Schengen-Area issued VISA, you can travel to Mexico with it; so long as that VISA remains valid during your stay. For further confirmation, I would reach out to your local Mexican consulate while you're in the Schengen area; as well as with your particular airline that you'll be traveling with, to be certain of success. I hope that helps!
Hi am I allowed to go to cancun with uk tourist visa holder from india?
Hi Perry! According to my [limited] understanding, if you only hold a passport from India, you will not be allowed to travel VISA-free to Mexico with a tourist visa from the UK. Your situation may be unique though, so I can't speak with 100% certainty. My advise would be to reach out to your local Mexican Consulate while you're in the UK (or before) and see how they advise. It may be permissible to travel to Mexico while your tourist VISA in the UK is valid. I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels!
I am traveling from the US to Veracruz later this year.
Hi , I am a Ghanaian, living in the UK on a graduate visa, but I also have a USA B1/B2 tourist visa , can I travel to Mexico with these ?
Depends on your passport not a American tourist visa
Hi Daniel. I responded to your inquiry on the previous video. I hope you find it helpful; I'll also copy it down below:
Hi @DanielAnsah According to the Mexican Government's Immigration website, although you may have a passport from Ghana, because you also hold a current VISA from the UK and/or the US, you are allowed to travel to Mexico VISA-free for as long as either of those VISAs remain valid. Here is the website reference (also in the description portion of the video): www.inm.gob.mx/gobmx/word/index.php/paises-requieren-visa-para-mexico/
I hope that helps!
Hi, so we are going to Cancun for 8 days, do we have to pay extra for staying over 7 days?
Hi @KrystleJ The short answer is: No. If you are flying into Cancun, the cost of your -now electronic- FMM form [no matter the length of stay] is typically included in the cost of your flight. It is usually around $30USD. If you are driving to Cancun, you would just pay the $30 at the border for the physical FMM, since the trip exceeds 7 days. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any other questions; glad to help! Enjoy your travels! 😊
Interesting, what if you arrive at a participating airport, but leave the country through a non participating airport?
Most all international airports have switched over to a (physical) FMM-free system but one is still is generated for you electronically, upon entry into Mexico; no matter the airport. In that instance I would err on the side of caution and just print out a copy of my digital FMM form; in case they request/require it to leave. I made an instructional video on how to access and print your digital FMM, if it will prove helpful: th-cam.com/video/eKv0SihCcGo/w-d-xo.html
hello, just would like to confirm. If I am traveling from UK to Cancun,but hotel in Playa del Carmen should I complete FMM form and pay fee for staying in Quintana Roo?
Hey Irina! Yes! You are correct. If you will be flying into and out of the Cancun airport, you will not need to fill out and pay for the FMM form prior to your trip. Good question!
I am travelling from the UK too, did you have any issues at cancun airport?
@@catherinedirks2464 hello, absolutely not. On arrival I complete form what was given in the plane. At hotel I paid tax. Also fir all sea excursions you will pay environmental tax (but in most excursions this tax already included,I was always asked them if it was included or not). And in the end if the holiday at airport you should pay (tax for Quintana Roo - basically if you tourist uou should pay 😅), but they never asked me to show proof (uou can pay online) and I asked another people who back from Mexico and they said they never paid last tax as no one checked in the airport 😅
Are there any entrance requirements if one has obtained Mexican citizenship BEFORE entering Mexico?
Hi Angie! If you have your Mexican passport, nope! It’s just smooth sailing through customs. “Bienvenida a México!” 🇲🇽
If you don’t have your Mexican passport yet (& you only have your birth certificate/INE/Matrícula ID card/etc.) it just depends on the airport and/or the custom’s official you meet upon entry. I can say (with fair certainty though) that it IS possible to come in with just your official Mexican birth certificate and a supporting photo ID. If that’s where you’re at, I would just triple check with your local consulate or your arrival airport’s website to be certain. 😊 I hope that helps!
Hi can one travel to Mexico on tourism with a valid Schengen visa?
Hi Ella! The answer is: Yes! As long as you have a valid passport and your visit to Mexico is for less than 180 days for tourism.
Here is a good resource from a consulate in the Schengen area: embamex.sre.gob.mx/finlandia/index.php/traveling/visas
Hope that helps! :)
Hey… ur videos are really helpful.
I have my trip in a week and being an international student in Canada, do I need any documents other than my passport (I am from Pakistan) and my study permit? Such as ETA or any other
Hi Balal! Thank you for the compliment. I apologize that I wasn't able to respond to your inquiry in time for your trip; I hope everything went well and that you enjoyed your travels. Because Pakistan passport holders need a VISA for entry into Mexico, it would've been my presumption that your Canadian visa would've allowed for an exception and thus been required as proof for travel. Was that the case for you? Everyone's experience can be unique.
Did you enter successfully with your student visa status only 😊 I intend to vist using my Canadian visa too
I’m Traval Mexico
Hopefully this will simplify things for entry and exit for everyone. Needing to have the paper copy or losing the paper copy can be an issue. I've had documents stolen before and this resulted in a fee to leave Mexico as well as extra paperwork for me and the customs people. Note that having paperwork was being done during the pandemic and technically I think could be requested prior. It depends on what level of entry you get. I've had a wide degree of entries to Mexico everything from welcome to Mexico, refusals, near refusals, being told to come back with an updated passport because of the number of days left on it, to needing to return with paperwork I wasn't traveling with. I have been to Mexico quite a few times since 2008, including longer stays, student exchange, and even a pandemic overstay that was attempted to be dealt with through INM since I was in Mexico already. It gets confusing how the consulates, INM and customs all intermix and has me wonder every time I go into Mexico now if there will be issues on entry. However the FMM is more or less digital now on the government side since they just input the data into their computer and it is logged. I think they have more information in there on people who have travelled to Mexico. It would be nice to know what they were seeing on their end. I actually do want to do a winter trip to Mexico again this year its been a little over 16 months since my last trip, and my last trip if ever would have gotten me into trouble due to the pandemic related extended stay. Its scary because everyone and my translator are saying it is fine from the INM side of things but its always a little spooky wondering what customs will think the next time you go back depending on how it ended up getting logged into the electronic system. None the less I think there is an honest attempt to streamline legitimate tourism but it is true every story I have heard about people having issues at the border generally is people who travel cheaply. I think generally the main reason for being refused entry is if they don't think you will spend a certain amount per day. That said if you arrive with a return ticket and travel lodging and a reasonable amount of financial resource its not likely to be an issue. Overall I think the idea of these pilots is to digitize the whole process as paper documentation can cause a lot of extra processing and problems. As I do not have any specific political views for Mexico or these processes I can only hope that it all works out for people including myself. I am debating right now on travelling to Cancun as my port of entry or travelling to another latin american point and ending my trip by land and out of Cancun airport. I am curious if they will still collect the FMM on exit from Cancun if you didn't enter by air as they use to really want that portion returned to them on exit or you'd have to get it reissued in advance or with a fine on exit. None the less I've filled in the border persons section multiple times sort of by accident as some of them wanted me to fill out their section and others were like absolutely not, none the less, its digital now the FMM just isn't a paper now. Although I wonder if they have update the law requiring you to carry it or a copy on you at all times or if the passport will need to be carried or a copy of the passport. Not sure if people actually have ever gotten fined for that. Massively long post none the less hopefully everyone will continue to be able to enjoy the majesty of Mexico. I could write more on this but I think this covers the basic thoughts. Also there is a chance for clerical issues also for instance the days on the front and the back of the FMM could accidentally or intentionally be written as a different number this could lead to some confusion. None the less I think this is onyl better to not need to paper unless need to show it to police enforcing immigration issues is still on the books, but I think police likely or national gaurd will also have access to the digital system and it will be proof and forging the FMM wont be doable now.
Hey William! Nice comments. Good points!! Coincidentally, this week’s post covers a bunch of those same thoughts! Check it out: th-cam.com/video/Bzta7qh33iU/w-d-xo.html 😊
You don't need a paper form I just have a stamp on my passport
Can you help me how to apply in mexico I will give you money
Hi! I replied to your previous comments on other videos with more information in regards to your questions. Hopefully it proves helpful for your next steps in traveling to Mexico!
You're pretty 😍
What if I have duel citizenship?
I guess it would depend on what the two citizenships are that you possess. If it is both U.S. and Mexican citizenship, then it will be smooth sailing into either country you enter. 👍🏽
Will I need to get the FMM form if I am Driving into Mexicali and flying to Cancun? Would I get the form in Mexicali or in Cancun?
Hi Alexis! That’s a great question! I don’t know if any of the borders have (as of yet) rid themselves of the FMM form; so it would be my guess that they would give you an FMM form at the border when you drive in (as well as potentially a temporary import permit for your vehicle) and you can bring that FMM form with you to Cancun when you fly in, in case they desire to see it, and return the bottom portion of it when you exit, wherever that may be from.
I have yet to experience that particular set of circumstances though; so please do let me know how it goes for you!
I hope this helps! Enjoy your travels! 😊

As a us green card holder do i need fmma form , for travelling to cancun mexico?
Hi Navneet. As a USA green card holder, you do not require a VISA for entry into Mexico; regardless of your nationality. & As far as the FMM form, it depends on your method of entry into the country; whether by car or by plane. If you are flying directly into Cancun airport, you will not need to pre-fill out a physical paper FMM form as a digital one will be issued for your automatically upon entry into the country. I hope this helps!
Am flying with my family from the TJ airport to Cabo but my U.S. citizen kids don’t have a passport will this be a problem? Only have real ID and birth Certificate
Hi Edgar. When we fly domestically in Mexico, we’ve used only our driver’s licenses [with our boarding pass, of course] without a problem, if that helps; so your children should be just fine.
To be extra safe, I would reach out to your particular airline and inquire ahead of time. (And if it comes down to it-which it shouldn’t-I hear the US embassies are pretty quick about issuing US kiddos their passports, when needed) I hope that helps!
Great Job Travel Mexico ♥ Detroit
Thank you, great video!!
Can Filipino visit to mexico
Hi Michelle! Filipinos can indeed visit Mexico, they will just need to obtain a visitor's visa for travel prior to entry into Mexico. This kind of tourism VISA can be acquired at your local/preferred Mexican Consulate. If you need assistance creating an account or making an appointment on their website, this video may prove helpful: th-cam.com/video/8ho46iLUFpg/w-d-xo.html
Is a "Mexico Health Declaration Form" still needed for entry to Mexico?
No it is not. Masks are no longer required as well
Robert is absolutely correct! It is no longer needed for Entry. 😊 That was stopped a little while back! 👍🏽
What if you are coming from Louisiana area and plan on getting married to a lady in Guadalajara on visit or tourist or vacation.
If you are flying into the Guadalajara International Airport, you shouldn’t need an FMM form. 👍🏽
@@MixedinMexico if or when I get married there I will still need the tourist/visitor card I believe. I see the fmm is not required when flying into Guadalajara mexico airport.
Hi Lee. Unless you choose to acquire residency in Mexico, the granted amount of days (on your digitally issued FMM) will still remain applicable every time you enter Mexico, regardless of your marital status.
@@MixedinMexico yes true but I know if you get married there you required to get temporary residence
Oh. I see your concern now. Residency is not a requirement. It remains optional to every individual; no matter if they are married to a Mexican or not. Immigration (INM) may make the residency process “easier” if you are married to a Mexican, but they don’t make it necessary. I know several individuals who choose to remain tourists in Mexico although they are married to Mexican nationals. So it all just depends on your preference. I hope that helps! Congrats on your engagement. Enjoy your travels!
Can I fly domestic in Mexico with just my driver license
Hi Randy. If you are a Mexican citizen, acceptable forms of identification for travel within Mexico (via airplane) include: Passport, Voter ID/INE, Driver's license, Professional identification or your Consular registration certificate. If you are not a Mexican citizen you will need your foreign passport for travel within the country. Hope that’s helpful! Great question.
@@MixedinMexico but I heard Americans can fly domestic inside Mexico just with driver license or passport card
I don’t have any experience using my U.S. driver’s license or passport card, as I generally always carry my passport book on me when I travel; so I can’t answer that inquiry with certainty. It is possible that some airlines in Mexico may allow for different forms of ID for foreigners; I would just check with your particular airline ahead of time to confirm what that require/allow so that there aren’t any surprises at the airport. Let us know how it goes though; it would be great to know if that is indeed still the case since the time you’ve heard it so.
@@MixedinMexico I just flew from Tijuana to Guadalajara just with my driver license as long as you fly domestic inside mecico your ok
So do I need to take a copy of the FMM and fill it out or just download it?
Hi @dianamaldonado7291 Depending on which airport you arrive into, you may not need to fill out an FMM form at all; one may be generated electronically for you after clearing customs, upon arrival. And those needing to access/download it are mainly those seeking residency here. (If that is the case for you, I do have a video for that, linked below.) I hope this helps!

HEY I heard that traveling to mexico by cruise we dont need the FMM but we will be given a visitor permit. Is this true and can we tour certain states outside of the cruising port? Such as disembarking plays de carmen and visiting other states?
Hi AJ. I'm not too familiar with traveling to Mexico by cruise, but I have heard that those who want to disembark and travel/explore port cities will need (and be given) a visitor's permit [also called an FMM form] at the first Mexican port of call that will allow them to travel Mexico freely within their granted amount of days. I hope this helps! Let me know if that is indeed how it goes for you? It may prove helpful to others with similar circumstances and desires. 😊
@@MixedinMexico sure will no problem and thank you so much... I will post when I get there ok

Hi @Bolt1760 in order to travel to Mexico (unless you have extenuating circumstances) you will more than likely need a passport.
Can i get vissa Am from Somalia
Hi Hamdi! Somalia is among the list of countries that do indeed require a VISA for entry into Mexico. You would first need to make an appointment at your local Mexican Consulate or Embassy for the VISA. The closest one to you may potentially be the one located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Here is a link to their website, if you need it:
embamex.sre.gob.mx/etiopia/index.php/elemento-2/visas
And if you need help making an appointment, I did make a video walking you through all the steps here: th-cam.com/video/8ho46iLUFpg/w-d-xo.html

With residency card can you use the mexican nationals line at Cancun?

Hi. i am from india. currently in lithuania. i have schengen student visa which is multi-entry visa on my passport. and i also have valid TRP (temporary residence permit. can i travel to mexico on tourist card ?
Hi Gurpreet! According to the Mexican government’s website, yes! With what you currently have, you can travel to Mexico without the need for a visa for a maximum of 180 days at a time, so long as your Schengen VISA &/or temporary resident permit remains valid. Here’s a good resource for you from a Mexican Embassy: embamex.sre.gob.mx/finlandia/index.php/traveling/visas
I hope that helps! Enjoy your travels! 😊
@@MixedinMexico Thanks for your kind response. i have one more question. i have TRP(Temporary Residence Permit). is there a problem with having TRP but not having the TRC (Temporary Residence ? or are they the same thing ?
Hey! If your TRP is for the Schengen Area, I am unsure if they are the same thing; but according to that webpage I sent, all that matters is if you have a permanent residency permit (PRP) or any kind of valid visa for that area; so as long as your student visa remains valid, it should be just fine! If you want a little extra assurance, it couldn’t hurt to reach out to your closest/preferred Mexican Consulate for confirmation? Let me know how it goes for you! We’d love to hear it.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask; and we’ll try our best to answer them! 👍🏽
@@MixedinMexico Yeah i will get in touch with the mexican consulate. I also think that because my visa is a multiple entry D visa for 3 years. i couldn't get any problem hope So

What about fmm form for Mexica city ?
Great question! I can confirm that as of October 2022 the Mexico City International airport as well as a couple of other popular airports in the country are now participating in the pilot program that removes the use of the FMM form. 👍🏽
@@MixedinMexico im flying in 30 days, trying to fill out the form online but it’s not giving me the option for entry by air. So I guess it’s not needed anymore?
That is very possible @MarkyMark They are constantly adding new participating airports to the list. Enjoy your travels!! ✈️😊
@@markymark4370 That's right.
Do you know if Mexico now requires a vaccine pass for international travel since the G20 members just signed off on that last week? They're G20, so I'm wondering if it's started yet or when it starts.
Hi Ray! That's a great question. I've recently entered and exited Mexico without the need for a vaccine pass; so I can confirm it's not in effect as of yet. I'll keep my eyes and ears out for it though, in case anything changes. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. 👍🏽
@@MixedinMexico Thank you! :)
There is a ton that needs to happen before something like that can actually come to form. That will be politically fought over, and I highly doubt it will come to fruition. They are too late to the party. My understanding is that it was something they are thinking about creating for convenience and tracking rather than having it as a requirment. Mexico never even required a test to enter at the peak of the pandemic. Now all of the sudden post pandemic they will require a vaccine passport? Very unlikely at this point IMO.
No requirements
Hi am living in Jamaica planning to travel to Mexico to do a NCLEX exam I don't have a visa My ticket says Jamaica to Florida then to Mexico is this possible ?
Hi Lainey. I hope you do well on your exam! It is indeed possible for your flight ticket from Jamaica to have a layover in Florida, U.S.A before traveling on to Mexico. If that is the case for you and you don't desire to alter your flight path, you may need to acquire a transit C-class visa for transit through the U.S. This website (below) may prove helpful: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/other-visa-categories/transit.html
Hola does the monthly amount the consulate requests per person? Also I'm a veteran I get about $2350 a month, my husband is retired he gets about 2565 which is short of the 2647 the consulate requires. Just wondering if we will be ḍenied
Hi @jocelynsavannah I wish I could answer that question with certainty, but that is beyond my ability. What every Consulate requires financially for individuals as well as families with dependents is different; and also what they may allow for [given the circumstances] may differ. My greatest piece of advice would be to reach out to your preferred Mexican Consulate (or the Consulate of your confirmed appointment) and see what their particular requirements are; both for paperwork and for financial solvency, given your particular set of circumstances. And if needed, shop around for a consulate that you can meet their financial requirements; and make an appointment at that specific office. I hope that proves helpful! We're rooting for you two!!
Airline did not let me board today going to Mexico, i am a Philippines passport holder and also i am permanent resident of canada. All details in websites are really confusing, all says if you have a valid permanent resident visa regardless of nationality, theres no required visa to enter Mexico, but our airline still says i need to present visa. 🥹
Hi @MisisPelletier I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You are indeed correct, in accordance with the information provided on the Mexican Government's Immigration website. Maybe the airline official was ignorant of those allowances. May I ask if you showed her your permanent resident visa for Canada and/or the proof of the allowance from Mexico; and if so, what he/she said after seeing such? Also, were you leaving from Canada, and have you since resolved the matter? Thank you for sharing your experience; I'm sure this isn't the first occurrence of this and sadly may not be the last. Your shared experience may prove beneficial for others with similar circumstances and desires.
