Do US, Canadian, UK and EU tourists need a visa to visit Mexico?

No. Citizens of around 63 countries, including the US, Canada, UK and all EU states, can enter Mexico as tourists for up to 180 days without a visa - they only need a valid passport and the FMM tourist card.
Do I need a Mexican visa if I already have a valid US visa or green card?
▼
No. Anyone holding a valid, unexpired visa or permanent resident card from the US, Canada, Japan, the UK or a Schengen country can enter Mexico for tourism, business or transit without a separate Mexican visa, provided both documents remain valid for the whole stay.
Do I need a visa if my cruise ship only stops at a Mexican port?
▼
No. Foreigners of any nationality travelling to Mexico purely on a cruise that calls at a Mexican port and then continues the voyage on the same ship are not required to obtain a visa or consular stamp, provided they carry a valid passport.
Who has to get a Mexican visa before travelling?
▼
Nationals of the countries and regions listed on INM's official 'Países y regiones que requieren visa' list must obtain a visa before travel, regardless of how they enter Mexico.
What is the Electronic Authorization (SAE) and who can use it?
▼
The SAE is an online authorization that lets eligible nationalities travel to Mexico without a visa for transit, tourism or business; it is valid for 30 days from issue for a single trip, and travellers must still complete a FMM form on arrival.
Does everyone have to pay the Visitax to visit Cancún, Tulum or Cozumel?
▼
Yes. Visitax is mandatory for all foreign tourists visiting the state of Quintana Roo, regardless of how they leave the state, under Article 51 Octies of the state's Law of Rights.
Does Visitax apply if I'm only visiting Cozumel?
▼
Yes - the Visitax payment for use of public-domain goods applies to all foreign tourists visiting anywhere in Quintana Roo, including Cozumel.
Can I apply for a Mexican visa without visiting a consulate in person?
▼
No. All standard Mexican visas are issued only after an in-person appointment at a consulate; walk-ins are not accepted and each applicant must book their own appointment.
How do I get my Visitax QR code if I lost it?
▼
You can recover your Visitax receipt on the official portal by selecting the 'recover your receipt' option and entering your passport number, which lets you download your QR code again.
Do I need my passport to be valid for a certain number of months to enter Mexico?
▼
Mexican rules only require that your passport be valid and not expired for the entirety of your trip; there is no separate 6-month rule, although your airline may apply the US 6-month rule if you are connecting through the US.
