Visa required — plan ahead
Jordanian passport holders cannot enter Mexico without a pre-approved visa. Start the application process at least 6–8 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for processing delays.
Keep your tourist card safe
Upon arrival, you'll receive a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM). Do not lose it — you must return it when you leave Mexico. A replacement can be a hassle and may involve fees.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Mexican embassy
Contact the Mexican embassy or consulate in Jordan (or the nearest one if there's no embassy in Amman). Submit the visa application form, passport photos, and supporting documents. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks.
2
Wait for visa approval
Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker in your passport. Do not book flights or accommodation until you have the visa in hand.

Prepare your documents for travel
Before departure, gather: passport with visa, return ticket, first-night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep digital copies on your phone.

Arrive at a Mexican airport and go through immigration
At Mexico City International Airport (MEX) or Cancún (CUN), follow signs to 'Migración'. Present your passport with visa, and the immigration officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel booking. You'll get a tourist card (FMM) — keep it safe until you leave.
