Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit Mexico?

Q: What is the FMM and do I still need it?

The FMM (Forma Migratoria Multiple) is Mexico's visitor permit. You still need it, but it is now often handled digitally at airports and is normally bundled into your airfare.

Q: How long can I stay in Mexico?

Up to 180 days per entry. The exact number of days is set by the immigration officer, so always check your stamp or digital record.

Q: How much does entry cost?

There is no visa fee. The FMM permit is about USD 35 (around MXN 717), typically included in the price of an international air ticket.

Q: Does my passport need six months' validity?

Mexico requires your passport to be valid for the duration of your stay, but six months' validity beyond entry is strongly recommended to avoid problems.

Q: Can I extend my stay beyond 180 days?

The FMM tourist permit cannot be extended. To stay longer you would need to leave and re-enter, or apply for an appropriate residency visa.

No tourist visa required. Finnish ordinary passport holders may enter Mexico visa-free for tourism for up to 180 days; you only need a Multiple Migration Form (FMM/FMMD) tourist permit, which is normally included in your airline ticket. Finland is on Mexico's visa-exempt list, so Finnish ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for tourism or short business visits. On arrival you receive (or pre-complete online) a Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM/FMMD) visitor permit, with stays of up to 180 days granted at the immigration officer's discretion. For air arrivals the FMM fee is bundled into the airfare; for land arrivals it is paid at the border (and waived for stays under 7 days near the border zone). At many airports, passports are now stamped digitally instead of issuing a paper card. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay, though six months' validity beyond entry is recommended. Keep proof of onward/return travel and accommodation, as these may be requested. There is no eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival requirement for this nationality on a short tourist stay.
