Hi, my wife is from Ecuador and we should be notified any day now that we have been approved for lifting of conditions. We have been through the whole process and we are in the home stretch. MY question is we want to travel to Cancun Mexico for a 7 days vacation. My wife has an Ecuadorian Passport and hopefully she will be approved for the lifting of conditions and she will be issued a Green Card for 10 years. What other documents are required for her to travel to Mexico? Since she is Ecuadorian does she have to obtain a VISA from Ecuador to travel to Mexico? We are ready to book our trip and don't want any surprises. Thanks for your help in this matter.

She is a permanent resident of the US, so her green card should be enough for her to not need a visa.

No visa is required for Mexico if holding any valid USA visa (including valid green card).

All she needs is valid passport and valid green card. It doesn't matter if the green card is a 2-year or 10-year.

Thanks for the reply. She has a Ecuadorian Passport and a valid green card. Is that enough for her to travel to Mexico?

Yes, her Ecuadorian passport is fine as long as it's valid, meaning it will not expire before/during her stay in Mexico.

Valid Ecuadorian passport + valid USA visa/ green card = no Mexico visa required

Have a great time in Cancun!
