Passport for Travel to Mexico

[Eagle Eye]

Does anyone know how long your passport must be valid for when visiting Mexico? I was thinking either 3 or 6 months but I cant find any information.

Thanks

Cant say for sure, but I got my daughter a passport in December and we were in Mexico mid January.

It's Mexico, they hardly even look at it. I don't think it matters.

I know before they didnt really care, but as of March 1, I think you have to have a passport so I wondered if they are a little more stringent now

I just got back from there and they didn't even look at my passport. All they did was stamp it and send to that red light/green light customs thing.

I almost guarantee they can't even read it so I wouldn't worry.

Passport Validity

The maximum period of time that a visitor may stay in Mexico without a formal visa is six months. Therefore your passport, regardless of country of origin, should be valid for a minimum period of six months, however long you intend to stay to avoid any potential problems at the port of entry.
Immigration authorities at the port of entry may allow or deny entry of any person into Mexico. If you have a passport that is valid for less than six months and you intend to stay in Mexico for a short period of time -- perhaps a vacation -- the Immigration Officer might allow you entry.
Notwithstanding this, we recommend that you and your family members hold passports valid for at least six months from the date you plan to enter Mexico.

WTH? Did troutman call in sick today?
