About the Mexico passport
The Mexico passport is grouped with Americas in this index. It ranks #25 globally and #6 among 22 Americas passports, with a mobility score of 159.
Its current access profile includes 113 visa-free destinations,35 visas on arrival, and 11 destinations using an ETA. The detailed list below separates these from eVisas, traditional visas, and any officially documented entry restrictions.
Mexican tax residence is based principally on home and vital interests, with special nationality-related presumptions. Residents face worldwide income taxation; nonresidents generally face Mexican-source or establishment-attributable taxation.
Entry rules can change without notice. Treat this as a comparison tool and verify official requirements before travel.
