📌 In some cases, if you hold a valid visa for the USA, Schengen Area, or Canada, entry without a visa or ETA may be possible; however, such situations are considered individually.

📌 Important for all categories of citizens
The final decision on the length of stay in Mexico is always made by the immigration officer upon entry into the country.
When crossing the border, it is recommended to have proof of the purpose of the trip, return flight, accommodation, and financial means.
All these documents are prepared and organized by our agency into a single visa case to increase the chances of obtaining a visa and the maximum possible stay as decided by the immigration officer.

The document package includes:
Preparation of the travel purpose justification.
Round-trip flight bookings.
Hotel reservation / confirmation of accommodation.
Assistance with proof of financial solvency.
