Mexico visa for Vietnamese citizens

Visa required
🇻🇳 Vietnamese passport → 🇲🇽 Mexico: yes — a visa arranged in advance.

How it works

You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.

Heads-up: Mexico commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and on arrival).

Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →

Beyond Mexico: the Vietnam passport

The 🇻🇳 Vietnam passport ranks #161 of 199 worldwide, entering 52 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).

Also visa-free on the Vietnam passport: 🇧🇧 Barbados (90 days), 🇨🇱 Chile (90 days), 🇭🇹 Haiti (90 days) — all 52 open destinations.

Going the other way? Mexican citizens visiting Vietnam need an e-Visa, applied for online before travel.
