visa to visit Mexico from Canada ?

[godaloveme]

Any one here any thing about Canadians having to have a visa to visit Mexico after Oct 19 2009 ?

one of my guest just messaged me all freaked out?

just wondering if any of the TA's knew if this was true or not?

[*Lo*]

I believe it's just for Canadian diplomats and officials. They are retaliating because Canada imposed the requirement on Mexicans travelling to Canada.

I heard the same. I'm not certain the visa expectations will ever apply to tourists-- the industry is faaaaar to valuable for them to risk deterring recreational travel.

Well, yes and no. It depends on how you're travelling:

 

"Entry requirements for Canadians: Canadian passport holders must have a passport, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, as well as proof of citizenship, such as an original or certified birth certificate. A visa is not required for stays of up to 180 days if in possession of a Tourist Card/FMT form issued free of charge by airlines. Business travellers do not require a visa for up to 30 days if holding a FMTTV form. Travellers are required to have the necessary documents for further travel, and sufficient funds."
