Summary
  • Visa class: Traditional (sticker visa issued by the embassy)
  • Difficulty rating: Moderate (due to appointment scheduling and documentation requirements)
  • Visa details: Single-entry or multiple-entry (depending on the visa issued)
  • Validity: Up to 180 days
  • Maximum stay: 180 days per visit
  • Average processing time: Several weeks, depending on the embassy and time of year

Applying for a visa can often feel overwhelming, especially when your mind is already focused on the trip. We’re here to help you understand how to apply for your Mexico Tourist Visa.

Do Indian citizens need a visa to visit Mexico?

Indian citizens planning to visit Mexico for tourism, business, or transit purposes must have a visa before entering the country.

However, there are a few exceptions:

  • You hold a valid multiple-entry visa from Canada, the USA, Japan, the United Kingdom, or any of the countries in the Schengen Area.

  • You’re a permanent resident of Canada, the USA, Japan, the United Kingdom, Japan, a Schengen member state, or a member country of the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, and Peru).

  • You’re entering Mexico via a cruise ship.

If none of these apply to you, you will need to apply for a sticker visa at the nearest Mexican embassy or consulate.

"If you're flying through the U.S. or Canada before heading to Mexico, having a U.S. or Canadian visa can save you from applying for a separate Mexican visa." — Aditi, Bangalore

How to apply for a Mexico Visa from India

Although we don’t handle Mexico Tourist Visa applications, we can provide the information you need to apply confidently.

Steps to get a Mexico Visa:

1.Gather required documents: Make sure you have all the necessary documents, which vary depending on the type of visa. Check the list on the Embassy of Mexico in India website.

2.Book a visa appointment: Use the MiConsulado portal to create an account and schedule your appointment. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation letter.

3.Pay the visa fee: Payment details are available on the embassy website. Keep the receipt or bank transfer confirmation.

4.Attend your appointment: On the day of your appointment, bring original documents, copies, your confirmation letter, and the payment receipt. You’ll also provide your biometrics (fingerprints and photo).

  1. Pick up your passport: Once your visa is processed, return to the embassy to collect your passport with the visa affixed.

"It’s best to schedule your visa appointment at least a month before your intended travel date. The embassy can get busy, especially around holiday periods." — Rajiv, Mumbai

Additional travel requirements: Mexico Tourist Card (FMM)

If you’re entering Mexico by land, you’ll also need a Mexico Tourist Card (Forma Migratoria Múltiple or FMM). This isn’t a visa but an immigration entry form that collects information about your visit. It’s mandatory for all foreigners, even those who don’t need a visa.

"If you're entering Mexico by air, the FMM is usually included in your airfare. But if you're crossing a land border, make sure to get it in advance or at the border crossing." — Manisha, Delhi

Tips for a smooth visa process

Here are some additional tips to make your Mexican visa application smoother:

  • Prepare your documents: Double-check that all required documents are accurate and up-to-date before your appointment to avoid delays.

  • Book your appointment early: During peak travel seasons, appointment slots can fill up fast, so book your appointment as soon as you can.

  • Keep your payment receipt: Always have a copy of your visa payment receipt with you, as it’s required during the visa submission process.

"I found it helpful to carry copies of all my documents, including my itinerary and hotel bookings, just in case the embassy asks for additional information." — Arjun, Hyderabad
