How long you can stay
Up to 180 days per visit.
What you need
  • Valid passport
  • FMM (Forma Migratoria Múltiple) tourist permit — generated electronically/on arrival for air travelers, or completed at land border crossings
Good to know
South Korea is on INM's list of countries whose nationals don't need a visa to visit Mexico as a visitor without permission for paid activities (tourism). At an international airport the FMM is generated on entry; by land you fill it in. INM's FMM page says the form is valid for up to 180 calendar days from the entry stamp and covers one entry. Officers may ask for a hotel booking, return or onward tickets, and means of support.
