Polish citizens enjoy visa-free travel to Mexico for tourism purposes, requiring only a Mexico Tourist Card (FMM) for entry. We at iVisa streamline this process to ensure a smooth and efficient application experience.
Understanding Mexico tourist card requirements
- The FMM (Forma Migratoria MĂșltiple) is an authorized document that all foreign citizens need when entering Mexico
- Polish citizens can stay in Mexico for up to 180 days with a valid FMM
- The tourist card is strictly for tourism purposes and cannot be used for work or study
Essential documentation and requirements
The requirements for obtaining a Mexico Tourist Card are straightforward:
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your planned stay
- Flight ticket details (for air travel only)
- Valid email address for receiving your FMM
- Payment method (credit/debit card or PayPal accepted)
Pro Tip: "Processing was incredibly quick. I received my FMM within hours and appreciated the clear instructions provided throughout the application process."

[From original: "The form you need to complete is broken down into three steps:
- The first one requires you to provide personal information, and you also have to choose a processing time for your application.
- The second step should take you even less time than the previous one. You have to handle the payment and review your form to make sure you do not make any mistakes.
- The third and last step gives you instructions on how to upload the documents that support your application."]
Important travel considerations
- Your FMM must be printed before departure
- Keep multiple copies of your tourist card
- Write down your FMM number separately
- The tourist card is non-transferable and cannot be extended
Pro Tip: "Having multiple copies of my FMM saved me when I accidentally left one copy at the hotel. Always keep a backup in your luggage."

Frequently asked questions
Can I extend my stay in Mexico beyond 180 days?
No, the FMM cannot be extended beyond 180 days. You must leave Mexico and reapply for a new Tourist Card.
What activities are permitted with the Tourist Card?
The FMM allows tourism, business meetings, and cultural activities. Work and study are not permitted.
Do I need travel insurance to enter Mexico?
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend travel insurance covering medical expenses and trip cancellation.

No, the FMM is single-entry only. You'll need a new Tourist Card for each entry into Mexico.
