Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit Mexico?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Mexican visa for tourism. However, you are exempt if you hold a valid visa or permanent residence for the US, Canada, UK, Japan, or any Schengen country. As of May 2026, ordinary Indonesian passport holders require a visa to enter Mexico for tourism. Indonesia is NOT on Mexico's visa-free list, and Indonesians are NOT eligible for Mexico's Electronic Authorization System (SAE), which currently covers only Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The standard route is a consular visitor visa applied for in person at a Mexican embassy or consulate. There is one widely used and officially recognized shortcut: if you already hold a valid visa (including a US B1/B2 tourist visa) or permanent residence permit for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, or any Schengen country, you may enter Mexico for up to 180 days without a separate Mexican visa. In that case you only complete the standard entry formalities and pay the visitor/tourist fee (FMM/DNR) where applicable. Always confirm with your nearest Mexican consulate before booking, as policy and document checks vary by post.
