A visa is not required for most countries to enter Mexico; however, a valid passport is mandatory. The passport must be valid for the duration of your stay and at the time of departure from Mexico, though there is no specific validity period required. We recommend checking for any additional or specific documentation requirements based on your country of origin. For detailed information on entry requirements, we suggest consulting the nearest Mexican embassy or consulate prior to your trip.
