Visa & Entry

Brazilian passport holders need an electronic visa (SAE) to enter Mexico by air. The free eVisa is single-entry, valid for up to 180 days, and can be applied for on the Mexican immigration website. Approval typically arrives within one hour by email as a QR code. Those denied or needing multiple entries must apply at a Mexican consulate. Holders of a valid US visa or US/Canada/Japan/UK/Schengen residence card may enter without the SAE.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
