Document Type : FMM Tourist Card
All foreign nationals visiting Mexico for tourism, business, or transit must obtain the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), also known as the Mexico Tourist Card. This requirement applies whether you are visa-exempt or holding a valid visa.
What is the FMM Tourist Card?
The FMM is an official entry permit issued by the National Institute of Migration in Mexico. It records key traveler information and authorizes temporary stays of up to 180 days for non-paid activities such as tourism, cultural visits, or meetings.
Who Needs It?
- Nationals of visa-free countries traveling by air or land.
- Travelers entering Mexico with a pre-approved tourist visa.
- Cruise passengers disembarking for excursions in Mexico.
Essential Guidelines:
- The FMM must be completed before or upon entry and presented at immigration.
- A valid passport (minimum 6 months validity) is mandatory.
- Retain the stamped FMM slip throughout your stay; losing it may incur a fine.
- Even with a valid visa, an FMM is still required.
Cost and Assistance:
While the FMM is generally free for land entries and included in airfare for flights, separate issuance may require a fee. JsdBiz offers complete assistance for travelers needing help filling out the form accurately to avoid border delays or rejection.
Travel Tip:
Ensure your details match your passport exactly, and double-check your intended length of stay. Overstaying the FMM limit may result in penalties.
