Entry Documentation Beyond the Visa

Nigerian citizens must present the following documents at Mexican ports of entry in addition to their visa:
Required Documents:
• šŸ“„ Digital Multiple Migration Form (FMMD)
o A mandatory entry permit for all foreign visitors, obtainable:
ļ‚§ Online: Pre-register via the National Migration Institute (INM) portal to generate a QR code before travel.
ļ‚§ On arrival: Airlines or border officials may provide the form, but delays are common. The digital version is strongly recommended.
o Note: The FMMD is separate from the visa and specifies the authorized stay duration (up to 180 days).
• šŸ’µ Proof of Financial Means
o Bank statements showing $1,359 USD/month for the stay duration (e.g., $4,078 for 3 months).
o Students: Reduced requirement of $815.60 USD/month 1.
• āœˆļø Return Flight Ticket & Accommodation Proof
o Confirmed return ticket and hotel reservations (or invitation letter if staying with relatives). Immigration officers may deny entry if these are missing.
• šŸ›ƒ Customs Declaration
o Declare goods worth >$300 USD (land entry) or >$500 USD (air entry). Undeclared items risk fines or confiscation.
o Prohibited items: E-cigarettes, weapons, fresh produce, and antiques.
Key Tips:
• The FMMD must be retained until departure; losing it incurs a replacement fee (~$45 USD).
• Minors traveling without both parents need a notarized consent letter.
