TyGrr Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm wondering if my wife will need a mexican visa as she has a 10 year US tourist visa. I found this on the Mexican Visa website. https://embamex.sre.gob.mx/tailandia/index.php/2016-04-08-07-30-52/2016-04-08-07-31-38 Please note that holders of a valid USA visa can be authorized at any port of entry by the migratory authorities to visit Mexico as tourist, business visitor or person in transit without holding a Mexican visa, regardless of their nationality. To enter the country visitors must meet the following requirements: A valid passport at the time of the intended date of entry to Mexico. Valid USA Visa. Immigration authorities may request additional information such as: main destination, hotel accommodation, return ticket, proof of financial means (international credit cards, debit cards or traveller's cheques). Has anyone had experiance with this? I will travel to Mexico with my wife. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macahoom Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) I don’t think she will have any problems. My Thai girlfriend entered Mexico twice during two separate holidays (without a Mexico visa) while holding a USA visa.

NewlyMintedThai Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Many times. Not needed if you hold valid US visa.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Just another example that a 10-yr US Tourist Visa is acceptable for a Thai to travel to Mexico... See this video (relevant section of the video is between 1:29 - 2:08). https://youtu.be/Phz2AhtvVC4 This example was from November 2018, departing an airport in New York.

GinBoy2 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My wife has a US greencard and we have gone to Mexico 4 times to visit my family. Never a problem in or out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveller Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Where is she planning to enter Mexico? If it's Tijauana by car, there's a chance she won't even speak with any immigration until trying to re-enter the US. I travelled by car there 12 months ago using the San Ysidiro crossing and there no checks leaving the US and only half of the cars entering Mexico were stopped my Mexican immigration. Otherwise you drive straight in Mexico, then when leaving straight out again until you reach the US port of entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tends to be the quickest and easiest To add to this. Driving in Mexico, not always a good idea. I'm Hispanic so speak Spanish, but it can still be challenging!
