What is the Mexico Electronic Pre-Registration System for Colombians?

Before arriving in Mexico by air, Colombian nationals can declare their purpose of travel and provide their personal information with this electronic travel authorization called Mexico Pre-Registration Form, also known as the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM). The purpose of this immigration form is to create a quicker and more efficient customs experience for Colombians.

You'll be denied entry to Mexico if you do not have the pre-registration so make sure to show it upon arrival.
