Travel Essentials
FRA: CEST · NLU: CST
When it's 6:00 PM in Frankfurt am Main, it's 10:00 AM in Mexico City.
German passport holders can enter Mexico visa-free for stays up to 180 days. No advance application, eTA, or registration is needed. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. At immigration, you receive a Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM) card. Fill it out on the plane or at the airport kiosk.
The immigration officer decides how many days to grant, from 7 to 180. If you get fewer than you need, ask politely at the counter for more. Once stamped, you cannot extend. Losing the FMM paper slip means paying a replacement fee of about MXN 600 at a Banjercito bank branch before you can leave the country.
Mexico has been phasing in a digital system (SAM) to replace the paper FMM at major airports like Mexico City and Cancun. When available, it eliminates the paper card entirely. Keep your passport handy for random checks at highway checkpoints in southern states.
S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 run from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station) to Terminal 1 every 15 minutes (15 min, €5.65 single or included in a Frankfurt day ticket).
