Indonesia to Mexico visa requirements
Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Mexican visitor visa for tourism unless they hold a qualifying substitute document, such as a valid visa for the US, Canada, Japan, the UK or Schengen, or qualifying permanent residence. As of 2026-06-21, Indonesian ordinary passport holders are visa-required for Mexico when traveling as visitors without permission to perform remunerated activities, including tourism, business meetings and other non-paid short stays. INM lists Indonesia among countries whose nationals must obtain a Mexican visa and says the corresponding visitor route is the visa de visitante sin permiso para realizar actividades remuneradas. The maximum visitor stay is not more than 180 days, with the actual period granted by Mexican immigration on entry. A separate Mexican visa is not needed if the traveler presents a valid and current visa for Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom or any Schengen country, or proof of permanent residence in Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, any Schengen country, or Pacific Alliance members Chile, Colombia or Peru. A Mexico-approved APEC Business Travel Card is also accepted only for air entry and business travel. Indonesians are not eligible for the INM Electronic Authorization System (SAE): the live INM SAE nationality catalog lists Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine, not Indonesia. For air arrivals, INM says travelers no longer need to present or carry a paper FMM at international airports because the record is generated digitally; land arrivals still use the FMM process where applicable. The Embassy of Mexico in Indonesia lists a USD 56 fee for the visitor visa application, and visa issuance does not guarantee admission because the final entry decision remains with INM.
