Mexico Visa requirements for the citizens of Romania
Types of Visas
Mexican visas are divided into two categories: non-immigrant and immigrant. Non-immigrant visas are issued for short-term stays in Mexico, such as tourism, business trips, or studies. Immigrant visas are issued for long-term stays in Mexico, such as work or permanent residence.
Romanian citizens can apply for a Mexican tourist visa (FMM) which is valid for up to 180 days. The FMM is a multiple entry visa, meaning that you can enter and exit Mexico multiple times during the validity period. To apply for the FMM, you must complete an online application form and submit it to the Mexican immigration authorities. You can find more information about the FMM and how to apply here.
Required Documents
When applying for a Mexican visa, you must provide certain documents to prove your identity and purpose of travel. These documents include:
- A valid passport with at least 6 months validity remaining
- Two recent passport-sized photographs
- Proof of sufficient funds for your stay in Mexico
- Proof of accommodation in Mexico (e.g., hotel reservation)
- A completed application form
It is important to note that all documents must be translated into Spanish and notarized by a Mexican consulate.
Application Process
The application process for a Mexican visa is relatively straightforward but can take some time depending on the type of visa you are applying for. The first step is to complete an online application form and submit it along with all required documents to the Mexican immigration authorities.
Once your application has been approved, you will receive an email notification with instructions on how to pay the visa fee and collect your visa from the nearest Mexican consulate.
Visa Validity
The validity period of a Mexican visa depends on the type of visa you have applied for.
For example, tourist visas are usually valid for up to 180 days while work visas may be valid for up to one year.
