We’ve reviewed our advice for Mexico and continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Mexico overall due to the threat of violent crime.

If you have an ordinary passport with a chip, you can use the e-gates located at the airports of Mexico City, San Jose del Cabo, and Cancun. You will receive your FMM (Multiple Immigration Form) printed, which authorises Australian citizens to stay for 180 days exclusively for tourism purposes.

If you do not have an ordinary passport with a chip, and you’re visiting for 180 days or less as a tourist, you’ll receive a visa on arrival. Mexican authorities advise to avoid being detained or deported, you must complete an online Multiple Immigration Form (FMM) and obtain a QR code (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Mexico overall due to the threat of violent crime.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
