Who is eligible?

• Applicants seeking to renew their C1/D, D, F, H, I, J, L, M, O, P and R visas, if the initial visa was issued in the applicant's home country or at one of the border posts in the past few years

Who is not eligible to apply in Mexico?

• Applicants for B1/2 visas, including renewals are not accepted from third country nationals who are not resident in Mexico.
• Applicants who entered the U.S. with a visa issued in their home country and changed status with Department of Homeland Security in the U.S. who seek a new visa in the new visa category
• Applicants who entered the United States in one visa category and are seeking to re-enter the U.S. in a different visa category.
• Applicants who have been out of status in the U.S. having violated the terms of their visas or having overstayed the validity indicated on their I-94s.
• Applicants who entered the U.S. under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program.

NOTE: Before deciding to apply at the Consulate, third country nationals should keep in mind that traveling to the country may require the appropriate Mexican visa from a Mexico’s embassy or consulate before making the trip. Potential applicants should be sure they have a visa, if necessary, and are prepared to wait several days in Mexico while their visa is being processed.
