Mexico entry requirements for Bolivia citizens

At a glance

Citizens of Bolivia do not need a visa to visit Mexico for tourism, business or other unpaid activities. Bring a passport valid for your whole stay; when you fly in, the officer stamps your passport and your FMM (tourist card) is digital, while at a land crossing you fill in a paper FMM. Officers may ask for a hotel booking, return ticket and proof of funds.

Official sources conflict: INM's 'requieren visa' page (1 Mar 2024) still lists Bolivia, but INM's 'No requieren visa' list of the same date, the DOF decree of 10 May 2021 that removed the visa requirement, and the Embassy of Mexico in Bolivia (Jan 2025) all say no visa is needed. Visa-free status rests on the DOF decree. Paid work or stays over 180 days still need a consular visa.

Arriving in Mexico: passport and FMM

The FMM (Forma Migratoria Múltiple) is Mexico's visitor record. Arriving by air you no longer fill in a paper or online FMM: the officer stamps your passport with your permitted stay and you can download the digital FMM (FMMd) once, during your stay, via the QR code at the airport or the INM portal. Arriving by land you still complete a paper FMM.

INM requires a passport (or identity and travel document) that is valid under international law and in force; consular pages say it must be valid for your whole stay in Mexico. INM's general entry pages set no 6-month rule, though the Embassy in Ukraine's electronic-visa page asks for 6 months.
