Mexican visa policy for Canadian citizens

Canada citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit Mexico for short tourist stays. However, all Canadian travelers must obtain the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), also known as the Mexico Tourist Card, before entering the country. The FMM is not a visa — it is Mexico’s mandatory entry permit required for travel by air, land, of sea.

iVisa offers one entry document for Canada travelers:

Mexico Tourist Card (FMM): The Mexico Tourist Card is typically issued for a single entry and can allow a stay of up to 180 days. The card must be stamped upon entry to become valid. Travelers staying 7 days or fewer are usually exempt from the government fee, while longer stays require payment.

General Mexico entry requirements for Canadian travelers are:
A Canada passport valid for the duration of stay
Approved Mexico Tourist Card (FMM)
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation (if requested)
Vehicle registration + Mexican auto insurance
