Tourist Permit (FMT)
|
|
The FMT is a permit to enter Mexico for tourist/transit
purposes for over 72 hours and less than 180 days.
The requirements for this visa are as follows:
* Valid passport, certificate of naturalization, or an original
birth certificate and a valid government-issued ID (a photocopy
of the document that you present is also required).
* One front-view, color, passport-size photograph.
This permit can be obtained at Mexican embassies and consulates
within the U.S. and Canada, at the port of entry from Mexican Immigration
officials, or through most airlines serving Mexico upon arrival.
The non-immigrant fee (DNI — Derecho de No-Inmigrante) to be paid
for this visa (as of March 16, 2001) is $185 Mexican pesos — approx.
$19 USD.
Notarized consent from parent(s) required for children traveling
alone, with one parent, or in someone else's custody.
There is not normally a requirement to obtain a visa for a day trip
to the Juarez/border area. Proof of citizenship and FMT are required
for travel farther south (the inspection point is about 20 miles
south of the border in the Juarez area) or for protracted stays.
If traveling to Paquime from Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua, a tourist permit
is not needed as long as the visit is for less than 72 hours. |
