How to Apply for a Mexican Visa from Nigeria

Nigerian citizens need a visa to visit Mexico and in this post, I’ll detail the Mexican visa requirements and application process. This information has been put together through a combination of online research on the Mexican Embassy’s website in Nigeria and other countries and Mark’s and my personal experiences at Immigration in Mexico City.

If you’re applying for a visa for the first time, be sure to read my guide, detailing  general rules about visa applications  and my suggestions on foolproof ways to build a strong travel history .

PS: I encourage you to check the Mexican Embassy’s website for updated information about the visa application process. All information presented in this post is correct at the time of this writing. They are subject to change without notice. Always confirm travel details and requirements with respective embassies and airlines before you apply for travel.

Before I got into more details about the Mexican visa requirements and application process, I should let you know that there are exemptions to applying for this visa.

What's Covered in this Post

Exemptions for Mexican Visa Application for Nigerian Citizens

Nigerian passport holders who have valid and open visas to the US , UK , Canada , Japan , and the Schengen States can visit Mexico without applying for a visa. Technically. I say “technically” because I know of a Nigerian who was denied entry after travelling with a Schengen visa.

Mark asked the Immigration Officer in Mexico City about this and he said to visit Mexico City with a Schengen visa, the visa must have been used in the issuing Schengen state first.

I haven’t seen this rule stated anywhere and at the time of this writing, it is also not stated as a condition for entry on the Mexican Embassy’s website (in Nigeria). I don’t know if this applies to only Nigerians and if the same rule applies to other visas (i.e. UK, Japan and Canada).

It may be worth your while to call the embassy ahead of your travel date to confirm the latest entry requirements. I was able to travel to Mexico with a US visa without issues.

Mexican Visa Requirements for Nigerian Passport Holders

The documents needed for your visa application include, but are not limited to the following below:

• Duly signed visa application form (to be submitted in person)
• A valid passport and its copy with a minimum of two free leaflets and six months validity
• Original letter of invitation (if applicable)
• Recently taken 1 passport-size photo (45mm × 45mm), not older than 3 months and on white background
• Photocopy of your international passport bio-data page
• Certified bank statements for the last 3 months
• Payslips or pension allowances showing a monthly income greater than $670 (excluding taxes)*
• Proof of stable employment for the last year or
• Investment documents or bank accounts in the name of the applicant with a minimum monthly average balance equivalent to $2,000.00 USD during the last 3 months, or
• Real estate property deed registered in the name of the applicant with at least 2 years (minimum) ownership and proof of stable employment for the last 2 years.
• Birth certificates for minors and a consent letter from both parents or respective documents parental status

*PS: I’ve seen some of these requirements vary slightly on the embassy’s website in other countries. For example; instead of a minimum monthly income of $670, it is $800. I would generally advise tending towards the upper limit of these amounts to improve your chances of getting the visa.

Other Mexican Tourist Visa Requirements…

The following documents are not explicitly stated as must-haves on the Mexican Embassy’s website, however, I believe that they might help to strengthen your application:

• Return flight reservation (Note: you should only pay for your flights AFTER you have received your visa)
• Hotel reservation if applicable
• A tax certificate, work ID card
• Introduction letter from your employer, employment letter and promotion letters.

Depending on your visa type, additional documents may be requested. See the Mexican Embassy’s website for more information.

I love to hear from you, leave a comment here cancel reply, 39 comments.

Hello Amarachi, I love your blog a whole lot. It contains so many useful information. Keep it up.

Regarding travelling to Mexico as a Nigerian with a valid US visa, The rule states that you must have entered the US at least once with that visa before travelling to Mexico with it. I would like to know if your case was different when you travelled there but for the person who was denied on a schengen Visa, i don’t want to believe that rule is only peculiar to Nigerians.

Thanks Emma. Regarding the US visa rule to enter Mexico, it was the same for me. I had used the visa in the US before and was also flying into Mexico from the US. I believe for the person who has denied, they hadn’t entered the Schengen area first with that visa. I think the rule applies to everyone (who falls into this same category)

I am Nigeria citizen with UK Visa, traveling to UK first before visiting Mexico, is it possible

The Mexican Embassy’s website still says that you can but several people have reported being denied entry into Mexico using a UK visa. See the comments in this post for more information.

Can Nigeria citizen travel to Mexico with UK Visa

Is mexico still accepting visa applications from Nigeria? i went to the appointment scheduling site and it says no consulate found when i chose Abuja

According to the information I can see on their Twitter page, they are. Maybe there are no more available slots for this month.

Example: If you entered Mexico on July 01, you will be allowed to stay till December 27. 

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE When asked at the port of entry, I usually say that I’m in Mexico for 1 month. But if necessary I continue staying longer. In one instance, I stayed close to 180 days and it wasn’t a problem leaving or re-entering Mexico.

Application procedure

Mexico tourist visa application is a 5 step process.

• Prepare documents required
• Schedule visa appointment
• Pay visa fee
• Attend visa appointment
• Pick up Passport

1. Prepare documents required

The following documents are required for Mexico tourist visa. 

• Completed Mexico visa application form
• One passport-size photograph
• Original passport
• Copy of the first and last page of your passport
• Original employment letter (must have been working for at least 1 year in the current company)
• Bank statements for the last 3 months
• Payslips for the last 3 months
• Copy of the visa/residence permit if applying in a third country (Example: if you hold an Indian passport and applying in the US, you have to provide a copy of your US visa)

1.2. Photo requirements

The photo must be 4.5cm x 3.5 cm with a white background, no glasses and the face covering 80% of the photo.

2. Schedule visa appointment

You must schedule your visa appointment at your nearest Mexican embassy or consulate using the MEXITEL visa appointment website. You cannot appear at the consulate without a prior scheduled appointment. 

First, you will have to create an account in MEXITEL. You will need the following details to create your account.

• Surname/Family Name
• Mother’s Last Name
• Primary Phone
• Phone Number

After creating your account, you will have to select the country and the consulate. You will then see the calendar with available dates. You can select the date and time that works for you and schedule the appointment.  

After you finish scheduling your appointment, you will receive a confirmation letter in your email. You must print this confirmation letter and carry it with you on the day of your appointment. 

The Mexican embassy in India made a nice step-by-step guide on how to schedule visa appointments using the MEXITEL website. 

NOTE Use Chrome browser if you can to schedule your appointment. MEXITEL website is not compatible with certain web browsers.

3. Pay visa fee

The Mexico tourist visa fee is $44 USD payable in local currency. You may end up paying a bit more or less due to the exchange rate. Keep in mind that the visa fee is non-refundable. 

The payment method for the visa fee depends on the country and consulate. Some Mexican consulates accept cash payments within the consulate. Some require you to pay the fee at a designated bank in person or online prior to attending your appointment at the consulate. Check on your nearest consulate website for the exact procedure and fee.

4. Attend visa appointment

On the day of your visa appointment, you must appear at the Mexican consulate. If the consulate requires the visa payment to be made at the consulate, you will be instructed to pay the visa fee at the cashier. 

You will then meet the consular officer. You must present your passport, documents and visa fee receipt.

The consulate office will review your documents and capture your biometrics such as photos and fingerprints. They will ask you a few questions to assess your background and purpose of travel. 

If you are not eligible for the visa or do not meet the requirements, you will be told so. Your documents and passport will be returned back. This is not a rejection, so it will not hurt your future visa attempts for Mexico or any other country.

4.1. Visa processing time

Mexico tourist visa processing takes 2 working days. If there are too many applicants, the processing can take up to 10 working days. You will be told at the visa interview when to come back to pick up your passport.

05. Pick up passport

You have to go back to the Mexican consulate again in person to pick up your passport. 

Keep in mind that passports cannot be mailed back to you. You also cannot send anyone else to pick up your passport. You must go back in person to pick up your own passport.

After you pick up your passport, verify the name and dates on your Mexico visa to make sure everything is correct.

ENTERING AND LEAVING MEXICO BY AIR

Entering Mexico by air

A Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM) is a Mexican immigration form similar to an arrival/departure card, also called a Mexico Tourist Card. Normally, an FMM card will be given to you on your inbound flight. You must fill this FMM card before you enter the immigration and customs at the first port of entry in Mexico.

At your first port of entry in Mexico, you have to go through passport control. You will be asked about your purpose of travel, whether it’s your first time in Mexico, etc. Your passport will be stamped.

The number of days you will be allowed to stay will be marked on the FMM card. Usually, it’s 180 days but it can be less also. Verify the card right away to make sure you were given enough days for your trip.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I have entered Mexico by air at Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cancun airports. I was always asked how long I plan to stay in Mexico. I was never asked to show proof of my return ticket or hotel bookings.

IMPORTANT You must retain the FMM card while you are in Mexico. If you lose, you have to pay a penalty on your exit.

As always, carry a copy of your return ticket and hotel booking just in case. If you are traveling on a one-way ticket, don’t forget to get proof of onward ticket .

Leaving Mexico by air

You have to return the FMM card to the airline staff on your exit. If you lose your FMM card, you must pay a penalty. To avoid any penalties and delays on your exit, make sure to keep the FMM card safe while you are in the country.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I left Mexico by air at Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cancun airports. There was no exit passport control. The airline staff verified my FMM card at check-in and took it away at the gate before boarding.

ENTERING AND LEAVING MEXICO BY LAND

Entering Mexico by land

Grab and fill an FMM card at the immigration office. Present your passport, FMM card and cash for tourism tax. 

You will be asked about your purpose of travel, whether it’s your first time in Mexico, etc. Your passport will be stamped. The number of days you will be allowed to stay will be marked on the FMM card. Usually, it’s 180 days but it can be less in some instances. Check the FMM card right away to make sure you were given enough days for your trip.

TOURISM TAX All tourists entering Mexico must pay a tourism tax. If you are flying into Mexico, your airline fare will include tourism tax. But if you are entering by land, you must pay tourism tax at the immigration office. The tourism tax is $594 MXN. It must be paid in cash in Mexican pesos only, but at some borders accept USD.

Leaving Mexico by land

You must present your original passport, FMM card and proof of tourism tax paid to the immigration officer. 

If you have entered Mexico by air, check your airline booking for itemized price details. You should see a line such as “Tourism Tax”. You can print your booking and show this as proof of the tourism tax paid when leaving Mexico by land. If you do not see tourism tax in your booking, you can email the airline requesting an itemized invoice. If the airline can’t provide you with one, you MUST pay tourism tax when leaving Mexico by land. 

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I left Mexico by land at Ciudad Cuauhtemoc near the Mexico/Guatemala border. I had a receipt of my tourist tax, so I presented my tourist tax receipt, FMM card and passport. The immigration officer took away the tourist tax receipt, and FMM card and stamped my passport with an exit stamp. It took about 5 minutes at the immigration office.

ENTERING AND LEAVING MEXICO BY SEA

Entering Mexico by sea

TOURISM TAX All tourists entering Mexico must pay a tourism tax. If you are flying into Mexico, your airline fare will include tourism tax. But if you are entering by sea, you must pay tourism tax at the immigration office. The tourism tax is $594 MXN. It must be paid in cash in Mexican pesos only, but some maritime ports accept USD.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I entered Mexico by sea at Chetumal near the Mexico/Belize border. I grabbed an FMM card, quickly filled and lined up at the immigration counter. It took a while to get through the immigration as there were many on the boat and there was only one immigration officer. I paid $533 MXN for tourism tax and received a receipt of payment. 

Leaving Mexico by sea

If you do not have a tourism tax receipt or your airline booking doesn’t indicate it clearly, you will have to pay tourism tax when leaving Mexico by sea.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I left Mexico by sea at Chetumal near the Mexico/Belize border. I did not have a receipt for my tourism tax paid, so I had to pay the tourism tax at the port. I did not receive a receipt for tourism tax paid since I’m exiting and the receipt will not be useful anyway. The immigration procedure took about 10 minutes.

Mexico visa requirements are clear and easy to understand. Mexico offers visa EXEMPTION to many nationalities. Any nationality holding any visa from the US, UK, Canada, Schengen or Japan is also visa EXEMPT. The Visa application procedure is fairly easy, and quick and costs $44 USD.

Mexican visa requirements for non-remunerated activities

Your content...

Thank you for your interest in visiting Mexico. In order to apply for a tourist visa, kindly request an appointment through the free online appointment scheduling system of the Government of Mexico. You can reach it through the following web address:

https://citas.sre.gob.mx/

There, you will need to set up an account and choose the most suitable time for your appointment at the Consular Section of the Embassy (it’s recommended that you use the web browser Google Chrome when booking your appointment).  Once you have booked your appointment, the system will generate a confirmation letter, which you must bring with you to the Embassy on the day of your appointment. Said letter will also be emailed to the email account you provided.

We strongly recommend that you request an appointment with plenty of time in advance in order to avoid any inconveniences. Please take note that, if you wish to reschedule for a more convenient date or time, or if you miss your appointment, you will need to request a new appointment and have to follow the same procedure.  Kindly note that the number of appointments is limited, so in case the system does not show our office or it does not issue a confirmation, it means that the Embassy is fully booked.  Watch the video for more information:  https://youtu.be/cikVjmneVnI?si=s-HWiinK5lmJSURF

Once your appointment has been confirmed, you will need to fulfill the following requirements.  Please note that all documents are subject to verification and must be presented in both original and copy:

• Visa applications at the Embassy of Mexico have a  non-refundable  naira equivalent charge of $53.00 USD that must be deposited directly to the Embassy’s Account.
• Submit in person the printed visa application form  dully filled and signed, since your biometric information (picture and fingerprints) is required.  It is not possible to present your documents via courier or a third party.
• Present  a valid passport , with at least 6 months left before its expiration date. If you are not a Nigerian citizen, you will also need to provide either evidence of your legal entry into Nigeria, or of your legal residence in the country.
• Bring with you one (1)  passport sized color picture , with the following characteristics: front face, fully uncovered head, without glasses, and a white background.
• Provide  evidence of adequate economic solvency  by presenting any of the following documents:
• Documents accounting for an employment or pension allowance with a monthly income equivalent to minimum $1,473.80 USD , free of taxes, during the last 3 months, as well as proof of stable employment during the last year, or

• Real estate property deed registered in the name of the applicant with at least 2 years (minimum) ownership and proof of stable employment for the last 2 years.
• Take part in a consular interview.

Usually, if the abovementioned requirements are fulfilled and no force majeure impediment arises, in particular the availability of the internet service, the visa is issued the same day it’s requested.  However, visa processing may take up to ten working days.  Watch the video for more information:  https://youtu.be/B3x0kkq-plY?si=5Zaf2UexIgJl9Xpq

Children under 18 years of age must submit their birth certificate and must be accompanied by either both parents or their legal guardians, or present a notarized authorization from them to travel to Mexico, including copy of the identifications of both parents (applies also for minors travelling alone). When travelling with single parents, widows or divorcees, the corresponding documents should be presented.

Once the authorization has been issued, the prospective employee must come in person to the Embassy with a copy of such authorization in order to take part in a consular interview.

Religious activities  

Visa applicants who wish to travel to Mexico to participate in any religious activity must present in their visa application the document called  anuencia,  which is issued by the Ministry of the Interior in Mexico (Secretaría de Gobernación).

Important notes:

• All visa applications are personal  and therefore  every applicant must request an appointment and apply by himself/herself - without any kind of intermediaries.
• Mexican Embassies and Consulates are the only authorities that can issue visas to travel to Mexico. Thus, the Embassy of Mexico does not authorize any external third party or intermediary during the visa process.
• There are neither urgent appointment nor urgent visas , please apply at your earliest convenience.
• Showing up for the consular interview does not guarantee that a visa will be issued,  since that depends on the compliance of all requirements. Since no assurance regarding the issuance of visas can be given in advance, final travel plans or the purchase of non-refundable air tickets should not be made until you have the visa.
• All documents may be subject to verification.  If you provide us with fraudulent documents or claims, this will result in processing delays and your application being refused. In addition, you will be placed in the immigration control list and will not be able to obtain a visa to enter Mexico.
• If you are granted a Mexican Visa you will be able to travel to Mexico. However, it does not guarantee entry to the country.  At the point of entry, Mexican immigration authorities may ask you questions to confirm the reasons of your visit and request printed documents. 
• Mexican Migration Law imposes severe  restrictions on children  under 18 years old traveling alone or in the company of adults other than their parents. The application form must be signed by both parents. Legal proof of relationship (i.e. birth certificate) must be provided, dully legalized and translated to Spanish if it’s in a language other than English.

Please bear in mind the following information when preparing your supporting documents:

• The Embassy may request further documents after your consular interview if needed to complete your application.
• In all your supporting documents, your name must exactly appear as it is written in your passport.
• Official documents issued in countries other than Nigeria must be legalized.
• Colour photocopies will not be accepted as substitutes of original documents.
• Documents submitted with your application will not be returned.
• Personal invitation letters are not accepted .

Payment Information

The fee for visa application and legalization is 53 USD to be paid in Naira according to the official exchange rate directly into the Embassy’s account below: Bank: Zenith Account Name: Embassy of Mexico-consular Account Number: 1016665586

DO NOT make payments before having a scheduled appointment.

Applicants with a valid multiple entry visa for the  United States of America, of any type, can enter Mexico without the need of a Mexican visa,  as well as those holding a visa issued by  Canada, Japan, United Kingdom  and the  Schengen States.  However, it is advised that you obtain a Mexican visa if you plan to travel frequently to Mexico. Watch the video for more information:  https://youtu.be/p1rI_KSrHqM?si=zExp4iYo3Y0K_wCe
