Student Visa Mexico

About

Before you start studying in Mexico, you should familiarise yourself with the Mexican visa laws and make the necessary preparations. The details below will help you through the process of getting a Student Visa in Mexico, including the requirements and costs.

Students who would be in Mexico for the same or less than 180 days can enter on a tourist card, which has a 180-day limit. Those who will be in the country for more than 180 days can seek a Student Visa. The Mexican Embassy can assist you in this matter. Make sure you give yourself enough time to process your Student Visa application.

  • want to study in Mexico for more than 180 days.
