Visitor, student and work permits for Mexico

Visitor, student and work permits for Mexico

New Zealanders are able to visit Mexico for an initial period of three months. This permit may be extended three additional months for a maximum stay of six months, at any branch of the Mexican National Immigration Institute (INM).

For extended stays, you must apply for an FM3 or FM2 at the Mexican Embassy in New Zealand before travelling to Mexico. An FM3 is a one year non-immigrant permit to reside in Mexico. An FM2 is also a one year permit to reside in Mexico. Unlike the FM3, however, it is an immigrant permit meant for people who wish to make Mexico their permanent residence.

For information on obtaining visitor, student and work permits for Mexico, and any other general immigration enquiries, please contact the Mexican Embassy in New Zealand or the National Immigration Institute.
