Important Considerations

• The visa is valid for 180 days and allows multiple entries.
• The visa does not guarantee entry into Mexico; final admission is determined by immigration authorities at the port of entry.
• For minors, both parents must sign the application or provide notarized consent.
• Documents issued outside Belgium or Mexico must be apostilled or legalized and include a simple Spanish translation if necessary.
• Airline tickets or travel reservations are not required and do not influence visa approval.
• Issuance of the visa depends on the documentation and consular interview. Fees are non-refundable, even if the visa is denied.
