Mexico to Thailand visa requirements

Mexican ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Thailand under the rules verified on 2026-06-25. The current P.60 visa-exemption scheme grants up to 60 days on arrival and can be extended once for up to 30 days, but Thailand has approved a future rollback that is not effective until Royal Gazette publication plus 15 days. Mexico is still listed by Thai official sources in the current P.60 visa-exemption scheme, so a Mexican ordinary passport holder may enter Thailand without a visa for tourism, short-term business engagements, or urgent/ad-hoc work for up to 60 days. A discretionary 30-day extension can be requested at a Thai Immigration office for a 1,900 THB fee. All non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must submit the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within 3 days before arrival. Carry a passport valid at least 6 months, onward or return travel, accommodation details, and funds of 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family; immigration can ask for trip purpose, stay duration, accommodation, itinerary, and proof of departure. Important pending change: on 19 May 2026 Thailand's Cabinet approved revoking the 60-day exemption scheme for all 93 countries/territories. Thai MFA/DCA/TAT state the revised measures take effect only 15 days after Ministry of Interior announcements are published in the Royal Gazette. The DCA's revised-scheme table does not list Mexico in the future 30-day exemption, 15-day exemption, VoA, or bilateral-exemption groups, so Mexican travelers should not assume a future 30-day visa-free entry; re-check Thai official sources before departure.
