I tell you in this publication what the requirements to make transit airport in Mexico en route to another country. ¿Visa or just the passport?
Several readers have asked me what the requirements are or if it is possible to make a transit stopover at airports, mainly in Mexico City O Cancún, which is where we have direct flights from Ecuador.
Based on this, just days ago Embassy of Mexico in Ecuador shared very useful information provided by the National Migration Institute of this country, which details the requirements that both Ecuadorians and other nationalities, must comply to be able to do so without setbacks.
Transit through Mexico airports
From the 22 October 2023, the travelers towards Mexico in connection they must comply with the following requirements that are destined for Mexico:
Depending on your nationality and whether it requires a visa to enter Mexican territory as a tourist and you intend to transit through Mexico's international airports to a third destination., You must have A VISITOR VISA WITHOUT PERMIT TO CARRY OUT PAID ACTIVITIES, This is independent of the length of time your airport transit lasts..
Having said that, If your trip is for example: Quito – Cancún – The Savior, You will have to have a visa Mexico yes or yes to be able to transit in Cancun.
Despite this, All is not lost and there are exceptions., which are the following:
- People with permanent residence in Canada, USA, Japan, United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, any of the countries that make up the Schengen Area, as well as the member countries of the Pacific Alliance.
