Mexico visa for Brazilian citizens

What it means in practice

180 days is about six months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 April 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

That is long enough to rent a place for a season, but a visitor stay is not residence: it does not give you the right to work for a local employer.

How Mexico counts your stay: You may stay only the number of days granted at entry (maximum 180), counted from the entry date. Leaving Mexico ends that stay; the next entry gets a new decision.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

• Valid passport for the whole stay
• State how many days you need; the officer writes the number of authorised days on the entry stamp or FMM — check it before leaving the counter
• Be ready to show a return or onward ticket, accommodation and enough funds (consulates suggest about USD 50 per day as a guide)
• Visa-required nationals using a US/Canada/UK/Schengen/Japan visa: the visa must be valid on the day of entry

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 180 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. A visitor stay cannot normally be extended beyond the days granted. Overstaying is regularised at an INM office or at departure with a fine.
• What overstaying costs. Overstaying is regularised at an INM office or at departure with a fine.
