Traveling to Mexico with a Romanian Passport

Romanian citizens enjoy visa-free access to Mexico for short stays. Here are the key requirements:

Entry Requirements

• Valid Romanian passport (with at least one blank page for the entry stamp).
• No visa required for stays up to 180 days for tourism, business, or transit.
• Proof of return or onward travel (round-trip ticket).
• Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay.
• Hotel reservation or accommodation details.

At the Border

• Complete an immigration form (FMM) upon arrival.
• Provide fingerprints and a digital photograph.
• Retain the tourist card (FMM) for departure.

Extending Your Stay

To stay beyond 180 days, apply for an extension at a Mexican immigration office (INM) before the initial period expires. The fee is approximately 350 MXN (~$18 USD). You'll need your passport, a copy of your FMM, and proof of funds.

Working in Mexico

A work permit is mandatory for employment. Apply through the Mexican Ministry of Labor. The fee is about 1,500 MXN (~$78 USD). Requirements include your passport, FMM copy, and proof of qualifications.

Always verify current rules with the Mexican embassy or INM before travel, as regulations can change.
