Business visits to Mexico

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Brazilian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see inm.gob.mx.

Common tourist traps

  1. Unlicensed taxis

    How it works: Unlicensed taxi drivers have robbed and assaulted passengers, including in Mexico City.

    How to avoid it: Use regulated 'sitio' taxis from authorised ranks or ask your hotel to order one. At airports, use only authorised pre-paid airport taxis.

  2. Express kidnapping at ATMs

    How it works: Short opportunistic kidnappings happen mainly in cities: victims are forced to withdraw cash from an ATM before they are released.

    How to avoid it: Stay alert, avoid higher-risk areas and don't travel at night in them.

  3. Virtual-kidnapping phone calls

    How it works: Callers claim a relative or colleague is being held and demand money.

    How to avoid it: Hang up, then check on the person directly.
