Mexico | Electronic visa reinstated for Brazilian nationals

Summary

The Mexican government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), announced the reinstatement of the electronic visa (e-Visa) system for Brazilian nationals who wish to enter the country as visitors.

The detail

In August 2022, Mexico established a consular visa requirement for Brazilian citizens, eliminating the Electronic Authorization System that previously facilitated their entry into the country.

With the aim of facilitating tourism and business travel, the Mexican government decided to reinstate the electronic mechanism, once again allowing online immigration authorization applications.

The reactivation of this system seeks to facilitate the mobility of Brazilian tourists and business travelers, while maintaining immigration controls through a digital process prior to travel.

The main features of the electronic visa are as follows:

  • Available to Brazilian citizens with a valid passport.
  • 100% online application through the official website of the Government of Mexico. (https://visaelectronica.sre.gob.mx/ingresar)
  • Applicable only for entry by air.
  • Maximum stay: up to 180 days as a visitor without permission to engage in paid activities.
  • Validity: single entry into the country.
  • The electronic visa does not replace the traditional consular visa.
  • Brazilian citizens who require multiple entries, travel by land or sea, or longer-term visas must apply for the corresponding visa at a Mexican consulate.

The process consists of completing an electronic form, providing passport information, and obtaining a digital authorization that must be presented to the airline and immigration authorities upon entering Mexico.
