Mexico visa for Ukraine passport holders

You don't need a visa on this route, but you do need a travel authorization. The programme, fees and how to apply are in the arrival forms and authorizations section. Arrival forms & authorizations ↓

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.

The SAE electronic authorization is available only to Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian ordinary-passport tourists arriving by air with a participating airline. It is valid for a single entry, and you must travel within 30 days of issuance. The maximum visitor stay is 180 days; immigration decides the actual period. Print the approval and confirm the airline's validation. Arrival by land or sea requires a consular visa unless a supporting visa or residence exemption applies.

You may be exempt from a Mexican visitor visa or SAE if you hold qualifying permanent residence in Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, a Schengen state, Chile, Colombia or Peru; or a valid multiple-entry visa from Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom or a Schengen state that remains valid throughout your Mexican visit. Admission can be up to 180 days, subject to immigration's decision. Temporary residence, an eTA or an expired supporting visa does not meet these conditions. An APEC Business Travel Card approved by Mexico can provide a separate route for qualifying business visits.

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.

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

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.
