If you are one of those travelers, this article will detail all the information you need about the Mexico visa you need to hit your destination.
Mexico Visa Types
You can realize your planned trip to Mexico by obtaining a Mexican tourist visa. The reasons for applying for this type of visa can be tourism, visiting family or friends, business trip, medical examination or treatment, short-term study, exchange programs and many other non-permanent nuances. If you want to study long-term in Mexico (such as bachelor's, master's, doctorate, etc.) or work permanently in an institution located here, you can also apply for a Mexican national visa if you have official invitations or acceptance letters from those educational and work institutions.
Mexico Tourist Visa
Single-entry and multiple-entry Mexican visas are available. At the same time, you can apply for a short-term visa, which will cover only your first visit, or multiple-entry and long-term visa types. It varies depending on the purpose of your trip and the interval of your trip.
Note that, in most cases, Mexican visas are issued to applicants for a period of 6 months and with multiple entry status.
Anyone with a valid and multiple-entry Schengen, US, Canadian, Japanese or United Kingdom visa can enter Mexico without holding a Mexican visa, regardless of nationality. However, these visas must be active and multi-entry. If these conditions are not met, citizens of Azerbaijan must apply for a Mexican visa to enter Mexico.
Collection of Documents for Mexico Visa Application
When applying for a Mexican visa, you must submit the following documents:
Original and copy of the first page of your foreign passport
Copies of your previous visas and entry-exit stamps, if applicable
A copy of your identity card
Reference from the place of work* and, if applicable, an extract from the salary card (for persons studying, a reference from the educational institution) Statement from the bank account in your name (Detailed information about the amount is mentioned below)

If the visa is applied for a business visit rather than a tourist one, in this case, an official invitation letter related to that work, event or meeting
Documents marked with "*" must be submitted to the embassy in English. If you have obtained the original document in Azerbaijani rather than in English, in this case, each of these documents must be translated into English and certified by a notary and submitted to the embassy.
Please note that it is important for the Mexican embassy to have a property in your name and to submit the necessary documents to the embassy, as well as to submit at least the last 3 months' statement from your salary card and bank account.
The amount in your bank account is based on the travel dates you indicated, i.e. the length of your stay in Mexico, the price of the flight tickets and hotels you booked, etc. varies depending. In general, it is recommended that you have at least 4,500-5,000 AZN in your bank account for a one-week trip (equivalent to Euro or US dollars). This amount should fully cover your travel plan. When calculating the amount, you can sum up the average daily cost of 60-70 dollars for each day you indicate that you will be staying in the country with the price of your ticket and hotel reservations and assume a little higher than the figure you received.
If you operate as an entrepreneur, you can submit the documents that will replace the certificate from the workplace (a copy of the TIN, a certificate issued by the Ministry of Taxes about your turnover) to the embassy. If you are not working, studying or in any case sponsoring another person to cover the costs of your trip, in this case a copy of that person's identity card, proof of employment (if self-employed, the documents listed above), proof of bank account and statement (this bank account can be both in your name and in the name of the sponsor), if you have a family bond, a document confirming this (for example, if it is a parent, your own birth certificate, if it is a brother or sister, both of your birth certificates, etc.) and a paper about sponsorship to the embassy must be presented. If the applicant is under 18 years of age, in this case, if he is traveling alone, a copy of the permission document to leave the country from both parents or, if he is traveling with one of the parents, must also be submitted during the visa application.
It should be noted that even if you submit documents such as TIN, certificate of turnover from the Ministry of Taxes or sponsorship paper, permission paper, you must have each of these documents translated and certified into English by a notary.
Visa Procedure
The consular department of the Embassy of Mexico in Baku is responsible for processing visa applications for citizens of Azerbaijan.
It is possible to schedule a visa appointment to submit documents weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (it is recommended to contact in the morning) by contacting the telephone numbers of the Mexican Embassy. Appointments are usually scheduled in the morning (approximately 10:00-11:00).
Note that the application form must be filled in by the applicant at the embassy. Also, during the visa application, a short interview takes place at the consulate. During the interview, you may be asked questions about your travel, travel dates and purpose, employment, and personal questions.
The visa fee is 36 USD. After the applicant submits his documents to the consulate, he is given a check for the payment of the visa fee. Based on this check, the applicant must make the payment at the main building of the International Bank of Azerbaijan (67 Nizami St.) and present the receipt of the payment to the consulate on the same day.
The visa result varies depending on the profile and submitted documents. If all the documents are in order, then the visa result is known within the same day. If there are missing documents, then time is given to submit those documents. If the applicant fails to submit those documents, the visa application will be rejected.
The tourist visa procedure generally takes 2-5 working days.
Probability of Obtaining a Mexican Visa
Just as when applying for a visa at the embassy of any country, your chances of getting a visa in Mexico depend on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position should be normal, your monthly income should be in the standard salary range and higher (in experience, there have been many cases of obtaining visas for people with a monthly income of 400-500 AZN), you should show enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country ( having property in your name, family and children) presence and travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting a Mexican visa. Also, as we mentioned earlier, the presentation of properties in your name, your salary card and bank account statements, as well as the correct answers given in the interview, significantly increase your chances of getting a Mexican visa. The Mexican Embassy is not considered a high-risk embassy for persons with no prior travel history, i.e., no Schengen or other visa holders. In our experience, there were many applicants who got their first visas from this embassy. Of course, for this, all your other documents must be in order. Also, in any case, having previous visas is one of the factors that increase your chances of getting a Mexican visa.
