Mexico visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens in 2025

Taiwanese citizens planning to visit Mexico need to complete two essential steps: obtaining a Mexico visa from the embassy and securing a Tourist Card (FMM). We at iVisa can assist with the FMM application process, making your travel preparations smoother and more efficient.

Understanding visa requirements for Taiwanese passport holders

Taiwanese citizens who plan to visit Mexico require both an embassy visa and a Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM) or Tourist Card. The FMM is a mandatory entry document that complements your visa and can be obtained through iVisa's streamlined online process.

Key requirements include:

• Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
• Mexico embassy visa
• Proof of sufficient funds
• Return flight ticket
• Hotel reservations or accommodation details

Pro Tip: Apply for your embassy visa at least 6-8 weeks before your planned travel date to allow sufficient processing time.

Documentation and application process

One of the first things you need to check is whether you can meet the prerequisites. Fortunately, the list does not contain anything out of the ordinary. All items are easy to obtain. Here are the requirements:

• Valid passport – if you plan to apply for a Forma Migratoria Multiple, make sure your passport is valid for at least another 6 months from your date of arrival in the Mexican territory
• Flight ticket – all you need is the flight number
• E-mail address – as you can see, all the news about your electronic authorization will be sent by email
• Payment modes – you can pay your request using a credit/debit card or even PayPal
