How to apply for a Mexico visa for Venezuelan citizens

Mexico has implemented new visa requirements for Venezuelan citizens, making it essential to understand the application process. We are here to guide you through obtaining your Mexico visa as a Venezuelan national.

Current visa requirements for Venezuelans

Venezuelan citizens planning to visit Mexico must obtain a visa before traveling to the country. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule:

• You have a valid visa for Canada, the USA, the United Kingdom, Japan, or a Schengen member country, or you have permanent residency in these countries.
• You're a permanent resident of Canada, the USA, Japan, the United Kingdom, or a Schengen member nation, or you have permanent residency of the Pacific Alliance (Mexico, Chile, Colombia).

The visa for Venezuelan citizens, along with your passport, must remain valid for the duration of your stay in Mexico.

While we don't directly handle Mexico Tourist Visa applications, we can provide valuable information to help you prepare for the process. Here's what you need to know:
