Entry rules for Iran passport holders
Iranian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Mexico. Applications generally go through a Mexico embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Mexico immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
