FMM

INM guidance distinguishes land arrivals, which use the FMM, from international-airport arrivals, which no longer complete or carry the FMM. Check the official instructions for your entry point; the form is not a visa.

Onward travel

Recommended

Immigration officers can ask for proof of return or onward travel. Official guidance doesn't list a prebooked ticket as mandatory for every tourist, but carry proof of departure, your itinerary and evidence of funds, as officers can ask for them.

Travel insurance

Recommended

Mexico's official guidance doesn't list travel insurance as a general requirement for tourists, but medical and repatriation cover is recommended.

Other information

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

  • A visitor stay can be up to 180 days, but immigration determines the actual admitted period.
  • Officers may request accommodation, an itinerary, funds and onward-travel evidence. Consular application requirements can differ from border requirements.
  • Supporting foreign visas or residence documents create exemptions only under the stated conditions. Check passport validity with the competent authority for your route.
