Travel Essentials
KTW: CET · CUN: EST
When it's 6:00 PM in Katowice, it's 12:00 PM in Cancún.
Polish passport holders enter Mexico visa-free for up to 180 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. You fill out the Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM) either online at inm.gob.mx before departure or on the plane. The immigration officer stamps it and writes the number of days granted (up to 180). Keep the FMM slip, as you surrender it when leaving Mexico.
At Cancun (CUN) or Mexico City (MEX), the process is fast. The officer may ask about your return ticket, hotel, and purpose of visit. No proof of funds is formally required. If you lose your FMM, replace it at an INM office before departure (about MXN 700, roughly PLN 160). The online FMM at inm.gob.mx saves time at the airport but is not mandatory.
