** We regret to inform you that due to new instructions from the Mexican Foreign Ministry, visas may no longer be issued to holders of a Kosovar passport as of January 2017. Therefore, visa applications from Kosovar citizens will unfortunately be rejected. 

Owners of Turkish/Russian/Ukrainian citizenship who do NOT meet any of the above requirements can apply for a normal tourist visa or an electronic visa, please click HERE. ATTENTION: traveling to Mexico with an electronic permit (SAE), please check before if the airline you will be traveling with accepts the SAE. If any reason the airline is not able to verify your electronic authorization (SAE) at check-in, your boarding will not be approved.
