NOTES:
No brief account of the complex Mexican Passport/Visa
regulations is likely to be fully successful. Visitors
are advised to use the following for general guidance,
but to check on the requirements that specifically
apply to them with the appropriate Consulate (or Consular
section at Embassy) before travelling. Non-compliance
with visa regulations will result in fines and transportation
(at the carrier's expense) to the visitor's country
of origin.

Passport valid for at least 1 year after date of entry
is required by all except the following: (a) 1. nationals
of the USA holding a certified copy of a birth certificate
and photo identification (eg driver's licence or student

TOURIST CARDS: Available only to
people entering Mexico on holiday, for reasons of
health, or to engage in scientific, artistic or sporting
activities which are neither remunerative nor lucrative.
Valid for the holder only. Other persons (including
minors) travelling on the same passport must have
their own card. The card is a single-entry document
and is issued free of charge. The Consular office
retains the right to request further evidence of the
applicant's intention to visit Mexico as a tourist
whenever such intention has not been established to
the Consul's satisfaction. The same right applies
with regard to evidence of the applicant's financial
means to sustain him/herself while in Mexico.
