Mexico maintains visa requirement for Ecuadorians

Given the increase in Ecuadorian travelers to Mexico and the increase in inadmissibility for various reasons, is that the Undersecretary of the Ecuadorian Migrant Community of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility held a meeting with authorities of the Mexico City Airport and have outlined a series of new requirements for Ecuadorians.

All airlines must inform Ecuadorian citizens about the obligation to present upon arrival at Mexico the following documents:

  • Paid printed return ticket (screen capture is not accepted on phone);
  • Proof of payment of accommodation (screenshot is not accepted, given that reservations made on internet portals can be canceled as soon as people enter the territory);
  • Or letter of invitation signed by the person who invites with a copy of the identity document of said person and that includes the commitment that the foreign citizen will return to their country on the date marked on the return ticket;
  • Proof of sufficient economic resources to cover the period of stay in Mexico. (There is no amount of money, it depends on the time and place of visit).

It is important that travelers also have their travel document, in this case valid passport with at least 6 months of validity.

Additionally remember that, all the requirements as a round trip ticket, payment of accommodation or letter of invitation and any additional document that proves that the passenger will not remain in Mexico indefinitely or illegally, must be submitted in print, for which it is recommended to take them previously from their homes, since places to print at airports are not usually found and showing it on the cell phone is NOT ACCEPTED.

  1. Buenas tardes, I am Ecuadorian resident in Spain, On my next visit to Ecuador I will make a stopover in Mexico City, only on the way out (Madrid-Quito). Do I need a transit visa??

  2. Hello there, if I go alone in transit, that is, I have to get to Spain and my ticket has a stopover in Mexico City I need to have a visa only for the stopover, I have a visa for Spain

  3. Hello there, If I travel from Canada to Ecuador, with a stopover in Mexico City; (but my final destination is Ecuador). I need a visa to make a stopover in Mexico?

  4. Hello there, I invited an Ecuadorian friend and I made her the notarized invitation letter where I was going to take responsibility for her stay in Mexico and all her expenses and even so they did not let her board the plane because they ask for the visa, and I asked in immigration of Mexico and they told me that they do not ask them for the visa that only with the notarized letter, So what is the problem in this case? ??? I hope you can help me and clarify my doubt. The worst thing is that the flight was already paid for.

  5. Good afternoon.- We have planned a trip to Cancun 30 from October to 3 November and I have a hotel reservation, paid airfare and car rental for 2 adults and 1 girl of 9 years that is my grandniece. The 2 Adults we have the American visa, And what should we do to get the girl's visa?, if she lives with us and not with her mother???

  6. Hello there, I'm from Ecuador. One question please, I'm going to Madrid- Spain I have a study visa, but my flight makes a stopover in Mexico, should i apply for a visa?

  7. Hello, we plan these vacations from January with the whole family and we already bought the plane tickets and we also have the hotel reserved, what security do we have that they give us the visa and we did all this in January

  8. Hello there,

    If I travel by transit from Spain to Ecuador with a Spanish residence (I live in Spain) I need visa?
    because i have 12 transit hours in CDMX, I could take the opportunity to go out and not stay at the airport for so long?

    Thank you very much and greetings

  9. Hello please.. If anyone knows more detail, I appreciate your comments.… I have for 13 people already bought hotel package tickets everything is paid… Mexico has indicated something in this regard to the affected tourist

  10. Good afternoon, What visa is needed to enter Mexico with the new reforms for Ecuadorians, the mexican or american? and how can I schedule an appointment in case it is for the visa. mexican. Thanks

        1. Good morning, if I have an American visa type B1- B2, that is to say of tourism, I NEED TO GET A MEXICAN VISA TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO I AM ECUADORIAN, THANK YOU.

  11. I have a question. If I go with the invitation letter , and I'll be there for 90 days it is necessary that I have money or it is enough that the one who invites has ? Since he will be in charge of everything during my stay .

  12. I saw in the news that from the 4 September will ask for a visa to enter Mexico !!! What is the truth please someone answer me since I have a trip to Mexico on 18 of September

  13. Good afternoon Nicolás, I'm going on a family vacation, we are all adults, but only two people pay the expenses, what to do in that case? so that those who do not have money or cards are not prevented from entering?

        1. I have never seen an inadmissible in Mexico with an American visa and I go a lot. I even tell you more, if you have an American visa and your country of origin needs a visa.. you will be admitted without asking anything. Mexico is only making immigration filter for USA.

    1. That is not the point Miguel, everything happens because of the illegal migration that is arriving in Mexico from Ecuador with the aim of crossing the border into the United States, it's just for that.

  14. Mexico always makes problems when entering, its officials are disrespectful and not very clumsy.
    To enter the USA they ask you for a visa and address where you will stay. For Mexico they defile you and ask absurd non-objective questions that remain at the discretion of the official to let you pass or not.
    It was always like this.

    1. I do not understand this comment mentioning other countries. Cuba needs a visa to Mexico. Argentines are not illegal to cross the border into the USA. And Central Americans with the exception of Panama and Costa Rica need a visa to enter Mexico. Hopefully and take care of the privilege of entering Mexico without a visa. If the numbers continue like this, in a few weeks they will impose visas again.

  15. Ask if I'm going as a tourist, I don't need an invitation letter because I don't have acquaintances or relatives in Mexico, it's obvious that canceling the hotel would be necessary. ?????
