Visa Requirements
Nationals of many countries who visit Mexico for tourism purposes and for stays of up to 180 days are exempted from visa requirements and need to fill out a tourist card when entering the country. The tourist card can be obtained for a fee (around 20 US dollars) from Mexican consulates, Mexican border crossing points, Mexican tourism offices, airports within the border zone and most airlines serving Mexico. The fee for the tourist card is generally included in the price of a plane ticket for travelers arriving by air. Travelers must keep the tourist card and return it upon departure; missing card can result in having to pay a fine or pay for a visa, and/or delaying the departure.
