In order to make it easier for international tourists to come to Mexico and to increase tourism, the federal government has launched a new visa policy that it has two main provisions:

 1. VISA SUPPRESSION TO ALL FOREIGNERS WHO ARE IN POSSESSION OF A U.S. VISA

 Tourists, business travelers and individuals in transit, who normally needs a Mexican visa and are in possession of a visa issued by the United States of America, can enter Mexico at any established border crossing point or port of entry with a valid and unexpired passport from their country of origin. It will not be needed to present a Mexican visa, although Mexican visas continue to be valid documents for entering Mexico. In all cases, the documents presented to the immigration officers must be valid and unexpired.

 2. VISA SUPPRESSION TO ALL FOREIGNERS WHO ARRIVE TO MEXICO ON FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S.

 Tourists, business travelers and individuals in transit who normally needs a Mexican visa and arrive in Mexico on flights from the United States of America, can enter Mexico by presenting their valid and unexpired passport and their boarding pass to the immigration officer. The boarding pass must show that the passenger arrived to Mexico on a flight from the United States of America.

 All foreigners will be asked to fill out the new FMM (Multiple Migratory Form).

These measures strengthen Mexico¡¯s international competitiveness as a tourist destination and are part of the strategy of President Felipe Calderón¡¯s administration to confirm tourism as a national priority for Mexican economic development.
