How to apply

Official source checked

Check first whether you hold a valid visa for the USA, Canada, Japan, the UK or a Schengen country. If you do, the Bangladesh foreign ministry report says no Mexican visa is needed, with passport and visa valid at entry. Carry the original visa and check your airline accepts it.
If you do not hold such a visa, apply for a Mexican visitor visa at a Mexican embassy or consulate. Since December 2024 this is no longer limited to New Delhi. Book an appointment through the mission you choose and follow its checklist.

Things to watch

Mexico's own embassy pages were not readable for us. Treat fees and document lists as unconfirmed until our office verifies them.
The visa-free route depends on holding a valid USA, Canada, Japan, UK or Schengen visa. A visa does not guarantee entry.
Do not use dummy tickets, fake bookings or forged documents. This can lead to refusal and a record.
Travel Counsellor Ltd. is a private consultancy, not an embassy. Decisions rest with Mexican authorities. No approval is guaranteed and fees can change.
