Information on Visas to Mexico September 18, 2001 In cooperation with the US, the Mexican Government will not issue visas to enter Mexico for certain nationalities without a prior check conducted by the Gobernacion (Mexican INS) office in Mexico City. This policy can slow processing by 30 days or more. The policy even applies to US legal permanent residents, who are nationals of the countries listed. Some of the countries impacted by the change are: India, Taiwan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Bosnia, etc. Before making a nonimmigrant third country national appointment for a US post in Mexico, or before going to a third country national immigrant visa appointment, please check with the Mexican consulate regarding the policy. The policy is temporary, but we do not know the longevity. |
