Norway to Mexico visa requirements

Visa-free up to 180 days for Norwegian citizens; immigration officer determines actual length. Norwegian ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free travel to Mexico for tourism, business or transit for up to 180 days. Since January 2023, Mexican airports no longer issue the paper FMM tourist card — instead, immigration officers stamp the passport with the authorised length of stay (which may be less than 180 days at the officer's discretion). Always confirm the granted days written next to the entry stamp. KLM, Lufthansa and Iberia connect OSL to MEX/CUN via AMS, FRA or MAD.
