Do you need a visa to travel to Mexico?
One of the most common questions travelers have in 2025 is:
“Do I need a visa to enter Mexico?”
The answer is no provided you’re a citizen of countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and others. You can enter as a tourist without a visa, as long as your stay does not exceed 180 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your trip.

Why is 2025 the best year to visit Mexico?
Mexico is more vibrant than ever in 2025. The country is undergoing a renaissance, with new festivals, cultural events, improved tourist infrastructure, and a growing international spotlight.
Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit, in particular, are emerging as some of the most sought after destinations for travelers from all over the world.
