Flight reservation

We found no flight booking in the requirement extracts from Mexico's consular pages, which centre on the form, passport and proof of financial means or ties. Travellers may be asked about their trip at the border, so an itinerary is useful to carry. Confirm the India list with the embassy.

Questions

Mexico visa FAQ

Does Mexico ask for a flight reservation for a visitor visa?

We could not confirm a flight booking in the official requirements we were able to see. The core documents are the form, passport and proof of financial means or ties. An itinerary is still worth carrying for the interview and at the border.

Do I need a hotel booking for a Mexico visa?

It is not confirmed as mandatory. Border officers can ask about your stay, so have the address and booking details of your accommodation available.

When should I book flights to Mexico?

The embassy says processing takes about two working days when the file is complete, so many travellers hold a reservation until the visa is stamped.

How long can I stay in Mexico on a visitor visa?

The visa category covers stays of up to 180 days, but the number of days granted is set by the immigration officer when you enter.
