Tourist Permit (FMM) Visa

Visitor permit for tourism, business meetings, or exploring Mexico before committing to residency. Valid for up to 180 days but actual duration granted is at the discretion of the immigration officer - some receive 180 days, others only 7-30 days. Cannot be renewed or extended; must leave Mexico and re-enter for a new permit. No work permitted. Cost is approximately $983 MXN (~$55 USD) as of 2026, often included in airline tickets. Popular with digital nomads working remotely for foreign companies, though technically a gray area.
