Mexico is a favorite destination for Brazilians, offering vibrant culture, stunning beaches, and rich history. While some Brazilian travelers need a visa to enter Mexico, others may qualify for exemptions if they hold valid visas or residency in countries like the U.S., Canada, or Schengen states.
This guide simplifies Mexico’s visa requirements, explains exemptions, and provides tips for hassle-free travel.
Understanding the Mexico visa policy for Brazilian travelers
The Mexican government requires Brazilian citizens to obtain a tourist visa before entering Mexico. However, there are important exemptions:
Brazilian citizens with valid visas or permanent residency from the following countries don't need to get a visa:
- United States
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- Japan
- Schengen Area countries
- Pacific Alliance member states
However, please that you may still need the Mexico Tourist Card.
"Recent changes have streamlined the visa process for Brazilian travelers. While an embassy visit is still required, the documentation requirements are now clearer and more straightforward," notes our visa expert Ra'eesah Manack.
