Custom

Visas to United States:

Please check if your flight to Mexico City transits or connects in a city in United States. If so, you must also apply for visa for the United States. It is recommended that you do this way ahead of Congress time (4-6 months before Congress).

In place of a visa, a Mexican Visitor's Permit, known as FMT need to be filled out. This is a simple form, which can be obtained from your local Mexican Consulate or better still, just pick one up from the check-in counter at the airport and fill it out on the airplane before you land. You can also get the form when you land in Mexico and fill it out before you queue up to have your documents checked and stamped by the officials at the airport. If you have not arrived in Mexico by airplane, then you will need to pay Mexico's tourist permit fee, currently around US$20. Your plane ticket will normally have this fee included in your fare (under 'taxes and surcharges').

Documents required to enter Mexico as a visitor

- A valid passport (with visa to Mexico, if it’s required).
- The migratory form or tourist’s form

Usually the airlines hand these out while doing procedures for your flight, during the flight or shortly before landing. This form is valid for up to 90 days. You must keep your blue copy safe as it will be returned to you with an official stamp shortly after the migratory procedures. You will give it to the authorities before leaving the country. Do not rip or damage this form. In fact, it’s advisable to take note of the number indicated on it.
