Travelling to Mexico
At present, all visitors travelling to Mexico need either a Visa or a Tourist Permit to enter the country. Whether you need a Visa or a Tourist Permit (called an FMT or Forma Migratoria de Tourista) depends on which country you hold a passport from. The FMT can be completed on the airplane to, or on arrival in, Mexico; a Visa must be applied for from a Mexican consulate office and granted before you travel. You can determine whether you need a Visa or an FMT by visiting www.sre.gob.mx/english/ .
The Government of Mexico is trying to set up a special mechanism for delegates of AIDS 2008 to apply for a Visa. Information is not yet available yet but check the conference website www.aids2008.org frequently for new details on obtaining a Visa and travelling to Mexico.
