A Brief Stay in Mexico (less than 6 months)

Tourist Visa for Mexico

The tourist visa or FMT is granted to those visiting Mexico for a period of up to six months. If you are already in the country and your visa was granted for a period shorter than six months, you can request an extension of the term. It is recommended you request this extension fifteen days prior to the expiration of your visa.

Where to get a Tourist Visa

At any Mexican Consulate, a travel agency, at the border or when travelling by plane you will be provided with one, depending on your nationality.

How to fill it in

You will be asked to provide certain information such as your full name, place and date of birth, gender, destination, reason for your visit and so on. You will not have a problem filling in these blanks.

In case you would like to request the extension of your FMT

These are the Documents you should have in hand for the procedure:

  1. Your passport and a photocopy. 
  2. The original FMT
  3. A letter requesting the extension of the term.

Things you should keep in mind

  1. Upon returning to your country, you will have to return the FMT to the authorities. Keep it in a safe place so you don't lose it.
  2. The tourist visa for Mexico does not allow you to work in the country.
  3. Please note that certain nationalities have a restricted entrance to the country. In such cases you must be invited by a family member, a friend, or a corporation. Request the visa from the Mexican authorities. The visa will be granted as long as all the requirements are fulfilled.
