Mexico Visa – How To Apply For A Mexican Visa

Is your next destination Mexico? Fortunately, you will not need to attain a Mexico Visa in order to travel to Mexico. You will have to make sure that your passport is up to date and in order before you travel. Also, for travel to Mexico, you will be able to use a valid Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative to do so if you do not wish to use your passport.

There are a number of Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative or WHTI  documents that fall under compliance that you will be able to use.

If you are traveling via air, a NEXUS card or a Merchant Mariner Document can be used. Merchant Mariner Documents can be used by U.S. citizens that are traveling on official business. NEXUS cards can provide expedited processing when traveling to or from the United States and Mexico.

If you are traveling by sea or land, you can provide an Enhanced Driver’s License, a NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI card, and/or a valid passport card.

Travel Requirement for Mexico

In regards to an up to date passport, follow the guidelines below.

Check passport validity – All tourists to Mexico will need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after they depart Mexico. The amount of validity time that should be left on your passport when you set out from a country should be about 6 months.

Blank visa pages – Mexico along with many other states require two blank visa pages, at the least, in your passport book when you arrive and depart Mexico. This will let any necessary stamps that will need to be stamped in your passport during your travel.

Transit Visa – At times, a transit visa is mandatory when traveling to a country on a joining flight. Countries that your fight stops at abroad may need to see a transit visa when you join flights.
