Entry Requirements

Many visitors can enter Mexico without a visa for tourism purposes. In some cases, travellers who would normally require a Mexican visa may be exempt if they hold a valid visa or residency permit from countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan or members of the Schengen Area.

Entry is never guaranteed. Immigration authorities make the final decision on admission and authorised length of stay upon arrival.

Visitors should carry accessible copies of:

• passport and travel documents

• return or onward travel details

• accommodation bookings

• evidence of sufficient funds

Further information is available from Mexico's National Migration Institute.

Healthcare and Travel Insurance

Mexico has a mixture of public and private healthcare services. Private hospitals in major cities often provide high-quality care but may require proof of insurance or payment before treatment.

Although public healthcare is available, capacity and access to specialist treatment can be limited. Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment, existing conditions and emergency repatriation is strongly recommended.

Medication

Visitors should travel with sufficient medication for the duration of their trip and carry prescriptions where appropriate.

Emergencies

Emergency services can generally be reached by calling 911.
