The Mexican passport is one of the strongest in Latin America, offering visa-free access to all 29 Schengen Area countries, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and most of the Americas and Asia. Mexican passport holders can stay up to 183 days in Peru and 180 days in the UAE, Costa Rica, and Mauritius. The most notable gap is the United States, which requires a visa despite the shared border. For Mexican digital nomads, Europe and Asia open up with minimal paperwork, making long multi-country trips straightforward.

Tips for Mexico Passport Holders
Travel tips for Mexico travelers
- •The United States requires a B1/B2 visa for Mexican citizens — apply early, as appointment wait times can be long.
- •For the UK you now need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) even though no embassy visa is required.
- •Canada requires either an eTA (if you hold a valid US visa or have had a Canadian visa in the last 10 years) or a full visa — check your eligibility before booking.
- •Mexico taxes residents on worldwide income. If you establish your "centre of vital interests" abroad you may change residency — confirm with SAT and any treaty country.
