Mexican visa policy for New Zealander citizens

New Zealand citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit Mexico for short tourist stays. However, New Zealand travelers must complete the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), also known as the Mexico Tourist Card, which is a mandatory entry permit (not a visa) for tourism travel.

iVisa offers one entry document for New Zealand travelers:

Mexico Tourist Card (FMM): A mandatory entry permit that allows New Zealand citizens to enter Mexico for tourism purposes. It must be presented to immigration with your passport and is required for entry, even though no visa is needed. It's issued for a single entry and can allow stays of up to 180 days.

General Mexico entry requirements for New Zealand travelers are:
A New Zealand passport valid for the duration of stay
Approved Mexico Tourist Card (FMM)
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation (if requested)
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (if requested)
