Frequently Asked Questions

The SAE electronic permit is required for citizens of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey without a US/Canada/EU visa. Most other nationalities need no visa or permit for stays up to 180 days.

Technically the airline and border officers may require an onward ticket within your permitted stay. In practice it isn’t always checked, but it’s best to have one.

Up to 180 days at the border officer’s discretion. Since 2022 shorter stays — 30, 60 or 90 days — are common. The exact period is shown on the passport stamp or FMM.

The FMM (Forma Migratoria Múltiple) is the migration form arriving travelers complete. By air it’s often electronic and included in the ticket; by land it’s issued at the border.
