Important information:

Having a visa does not guarantee entry into the country. It only allows the foreigner to present themselves at the port of entry to request entry into the country.

Entry into Mexico is subject to approval by health and immigration authorities at the country's entry points, known as immigration checkpoints. These authorities may conduct an interview at any time regarding the purpose of the trip and verify the requirements established in the applicable legal provisions (Article 37 of the Immigration Law and Article 60 of its Regulations).
