Thailand to Mexico visa requirements

Thai ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Mexico for tourism. Apply at a Mexican consulate before travel unless you hold a qualifying valid visa or permanent residence document that Mexico accepts as a substitute for a Mexican visa. Thailand is on Mexico's visa-required list, so an ordinary Thai passport holder normally must obtain a Mexican visitor visa (for tourism/business or other unpaid activities) from a Mexican embassy or consulate before departure. Mexico's online SAE electronic authorization is not available to Thai nationals. Mexico does apply substitute exemptions: a Thai citizen who physically holds a valid visa from Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom or a Schengen country, or permanent residence in Canada, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, a Schengen country, Chile, Colombia or Peru, may enter without a Mexican visa for up to 180 days as a visitor. ABTC holders with Mexico approval may also use the business-travel exemption when flying for business. If none of those documents applies, use the consular visitor-visa route and confirm the current local fee and appointment timing with the Mexican embassy or consulate. For air arrivals, INM says the FMM is generated electronically and the passport stamp carries the key entry information; land arrivals still use the FMM.
