Travel to Mexica

[anya-D 8]

Hi guys

I'm going to Mexico this month (know it today!) And my question is, as a Thai, I would need a visa for Mexico.. But I have a green card, so the Mexican embassy said I can cross the border just using my green card.

I'm just wondering has anybody done this before? I'm just a bit paranoid here..

Thanks! B)

Hi Anya-

Just went through this with my stepmom (from VN) and she got back across with no problems showing her green card. The family all went down to Puerto Nuevo for lobster...it was awesome!

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Did your stepmom need a visa to Mexico? Just wondering becasue i'll be showing them my Thai passport and a green card. Hope that's all they need!!!

Lobster sounds great

With your green card you should be fine but it would be smart to check into the immigration rules for Mexico on their website. You will get tourist visa form on the plane to fill out and present at immigration with your passport.

My wife and I have visited both Canada and Mexico and she only needed to show an ID and her green card. She had her Thai passport with her and used that as ID, but I think she could have entered with another form of ID such as a driver license. She was actually a little disappointed because she wanted a stamp in her passport to show that she had been there, and with a green card you don't get a stamp. As pointed out above, if you are going to stay awhile you will need a visa.

My husband and I just came back from Mexico yesterday. He's a Filipino citizen so I think the immigration rules are about the same as for Thai citizens - visa not needed if you're a Green Card holder, but needed in all other cases. We had no problems getting into Mexico or back with him using his Philippine passport + Green card. The whole process was very smooth and painless.

By the way, both of us got our passports stamped when we entered Mexico! Maybe they dont do this at all POEs, but at the Cancun airport they do
