What are the travel rules for Mexican residents?

Are there any special procedures for someone who lives in Mexico to travel to other countries?



You know, like us Americans; we can go to Spain for vacation or Amsterdam for fun. (Actually, I don't even know if there any special procedures for us to travel...Maybe because I don't travel.)



Can Mexicans go to their airport (with a passport and stuff) and travel to other countries? What if they want to become residents?



I would guess all travel procedures apply to everyone.What are the travel rules for Mexican residents?It varies for every country.



Some countries will require visas to be obtained prior to travel. The U.S. requires this for citizens of MOST other countries. Many countries require the same thing of U.S. citizens (I had to apply for a visa from the Brazilian embassy several weeks before my trip to Rio de Janeiro --- see, it's a good thing you didn't just show up at the airport with your stuff, because you wouldn't be getting on the plane).



U.S. citizens generally have fairly lax requirements for traveling to other countries.



Mexicans have considerably tougher requirements with many countries that have no visa requirements for U.S. citizens requiring advance visas for Mexican citizens (particularly those who also reside in Mexico).



Check the embassy or consulate web pages of each country for authoritative information about what their visa requirements might be. Also remember that it's the TRAVELER'S responsibility to find out about these, not the airline's, and if you manage to buy a ticket without being advised of a visa requirement, it's still regarded as your fault and you shouldn't expect a refund.



Have fun!

MarkWhat are the travel rules for Mexican residents?Mexican citizens may get a passport and travel freely wherever they like. Some countries are very difficult for Mexicans to get a visa to...like the U.s. Other countries that require Americans to have a visa , do not require Mexicans to have one. I live in Mexico and know Mexican citizens who travel the world...just takes money...like anywhere else.
