So why do some sites charge for a Mexico visa?

Because they can. If a site asks you to pay for an entry authorisation for Mexico, check carefully what exactly you are buying — on an Israeli passport there is no mandatory document to obtain here. We do not sell one and we will not take a shekel for it.

What is actually checked at the desk?

A passport with as much validity as the destination demands, usually six months from the date of entry; an onward or return ticket; and sometimes an address to stay at. Some destinations also require an online digital arrival card before you land — where one is required it is free, you file it yourself on the official site, and nobody should be charging you for it.

And the rest of the trip?

For the neighbouring destinations that do require an entry authorisation on an Israeli passport, we complete, check and file the application, at one all-in price per traveller. You can see those destinations and the price for each in our destination catalogue.

Mexico: no visa needed on an Israeli passport

An Israeli passport enters this destination with no visa and no prior authorisation. There is no application to file, no fee to pay and nothing here for us to sell you. This page exists to say so plainly, not to sell you a doubt.

What the exemption actually says

An Israeli passport enters Mexico with no visa for tourism, business or transit, for a period of up to 180 days — the immigration officer decides how many days you actually get, and the number is written on the stamp. Landing in Cancun, Mexico City or any other international airport? There is nothing to file in advance and nothing to pay: Mexico has done away with the paper FMM at its airports, and the immigration officer stamps the days granted straight into your passport. Check that stamp before you leave the desk — it is the whole of your record, and a mistake on it usually surfaces on the way out. Any site charging you USD 30–50 for a “Mexican immigration form” before you fly is selling you nothing. The digital form (FMMd) is principally the land-crossing procedure: if you enter at a land border you do need it, and if you travel beyond the border zone or stay longer than a few days you also pay a government fee for it — that money goes to Mexico and not to us, and we do not charge for it. Your passport needs to be valid for the duration of your stay; Mexico does not require six months, so do not rush into a renewal you do not need. And watch your routing: a flight connecting through the United States needs an ESTA even if you never leave the airport.

What you do need

No visa is not the same as nothing at all. These are the things actually checked:

A passport still in date
Each country sets how much validity it wants — usually six months from the date of entry, sometimes just enough to cover the whole stay. Check the date in your passport before you book the flight.
An onward or return ticket
The desk can ask for proof that you leave before the permitted stay runs out. A booking confirmation is enough.
A digital arrival card, where there is one
Some countries require an online arrival form before you land. Where one is required it is free, you file it yourself on the official site, and we do not sell it — any site charging you for one is a middleman.

These destinations do need an authorisation
