Description

Swiss citizens do not need a visa to enter Mexico for tourism, business, or family visits of up to 180 days. Thanks to bilateral agreements, Swiss travelers enjoy visa-free entry provided they meet immigration and documentation requirements. This makes Mexico an accessible and attractive destination for holidays, cultural exploration, and business opportunities.

Our Travel Authorisation Mexico service ensures Swiss travelers are fully prepared with the correct entry documents, health information, and customs knowledge for a smooth arrival.

Visa process and timing:
Upon arrival at a Mexican airport or land border, Swiss citizens must present a valid passport and complete the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), commonly known as the tourist card. The FMM is usually provided on flights or available at land borders. Immigration authorities stamp the passport with an entry record specifying the permitted stay, typically up to 180 days. No government fee is charged for the FMM when entering by air (fees may apply when entering by land).

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

A Swiss passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
Completed Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM) tourist card
Return or onward travel ticket
Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay

Health and insurance requirements:
No mandatory vaccinations are required for Swiss travelers to Mexico. However, travelers are advised to keep routine immunizations up to date (tetanus, hepatitis A, typhoid). Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover medical treatment, hospital care, and potential evacuation, as private healthcare costs can be high in major Mexican cities.

Customs and border rules:
Travelers may bring personal belongings duty-free within established allowances. Import of weapons, certain medications, and fresh agricultural products is restricted. Carrying more than the equivalent of US $10,000 in cash must be declared. Electronic equipment such as drones may require special permits.

Stay limits and extensions:
Swiss citizens are typically granted up to 180 days of stay upon entry. Extensions are generally not available, so travelers should plan their visit within this timeframe. For longer stays, work, study, or residence permits must be arranged through Mexican immigration authorities.

Mexico offers Swiss travelers a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty—from Mayan ruins and colonial towns to beaches on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. With our Travel Authorisation Mexico service, Swiss citizens receive clear guidance on entry requirements, health preparation, and customs rules for a stress-free journey.
