Visa for foreign nationals transiting through Mexico to a third country, valid up to 180 days with a $56 USD consular fee.
The Mexico Transit Visa (Visa de Tránsito) streamlines entry for travelers passing through Mexican territory en route to a third country. Established under Mexico's Migration Law, it provides a legal stopover mechanism balancing national security with international transit logistics.
This visa permits stays of up to 180 days and is non-renewable. The consular fee is approximately USD 56. Processing takes 5–10 business days. The visa is strictly non-work and does not permit tourism outside transit zones. Applicants must provide proof of onward travel and destination country visas if required.
This visa is ideal for international travelers passing through Mexico en route elsewhere who require streamlined legal entry without intending work or tourism.
