On August 3, 2022, the Ministry of the Interior (SEGOB) published an agreement in the Federation Official Gazette (DOF) by which article 2 of the document is reformed and with which the temporary application of visas in passports is determined to the Federative Republic of Brazil´s nationals in the condition of stay of Visitor without permission to carry out remunerated activities, therefore, Brazilian nationals who intend to enter Mexican territory will no longer be able to process an electronic visa, on the contrary, they must apply for a visa at the Mexican Consulate in their place of residence.
These measures will come into force on August 18, 2022, so Brazilian citizens seeking to enter Mexico for tourism or business are suggested to contact the Mexican Consulate to consult requirements and visa issuance times and thus avoid possible delays upon entering the country.
