These are just highlights, your Mexican passport also unlocks destinations like South Korea, Singapore, Argentina, and most Caribbean nations with minimal barriers.

✨ Pro Tip: If you’re a dual citizen, always carry both passports to avoid re-entry issues with U.S. Customs and enjoy tax exemptions when flying into Mexico.

Can I Travel to Europe With a Mexican Passport?

Yes! Mexican passport holders can visit all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. 

This includes popular destinations like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and more. No visa is required for tourism or business travel, but keep in mind you can’t work during this stay.

If you’re planning an extended European trip, your Mexican passport gives you access, but carrying both passports ensures smoother re-entry to the U.S. later.

Can a Mexican Citizen Visit the U.S. Without a Visa?

No. Mexican citizens must have a valid U.S. visa or Green Card to enter the United States. If you’re a dual citizen, you are legally required to use your U.S. passport when entering or leaving the U.S., even if your Mexican passport was used abroad.

Unique Tips for Dual Citizens Using a Mexican Passport

If you’re a dual U.S.-Mexico citizen, knowing how to use both passports strategically can save you time, money, and stress:

  • Avoid tourist taxes: 

When flying into Mexico, book your flights as a Mexican citizen. Airlines like Volaris and Aeromexico automatically exempt you from the $50 tourist tax (TUA). Others, like Spirit and Frontier, may still charge it, but you can request a refund later.

  • Carry both passports: 

Always travel with both your U.S. and Mexican passports. U.S. Customs requires citizens to enter and exit the U.S. using their American passport, while your Mexican passport simplifies entry into Mexico and other visa-free countries.

  • No exit stamps in Mexico: 

Mexican citizens don’t receive exit stamps when leaving the country, which makes transitions smoother when traveling between nations.

  • Get refunds if overcharged: 

If an airline mistakenly charges you the tourist tax, you can often reclaim it by showing proof of Mexican citizenship.

Client Insight: 

Many clients report using their Mexican passport to access destinations like Cuba and Russia, countries that are harder for U.S. passport holders to visit.

Risks of Doing It Alone

Trying to secure Mexican citizenship or a passport without professional help can lead to costly mistakes and frustrating delays:

  • Long delays at Mexican consulates

Appointments are often booked months in advance, and even a small mistake can send you back to the end of the line.

  • Rejection for minor errors

Inconsistent names, missing accents, or mismatched dates across documents are common, and often result in outright denials.

  • No support for complex cases

f a parent is deceased, unregistered, or your documents are missing, most services won’t know how to help.

  • Travel disruptions

 Missing or invalid Mexican documents can block your ability to get a passport in time for planned trips.

We’ve seen it all, and fixed it. Our licensed attorneys specialize in rejected and difficult cases, ensuring you never face these risks alone.
