Official | The United States may deny entry to Mexican travelers with visas if they failed to renew this passport requirement

Keeping the Mexican passport up to date is a basic requirement for international travel to almost any country, in addition to being essential for visa processing, whether for tourism or residence.

In some cases, the traveler may have a valid visa, but their passport cannot be considered valid. This may be due to damage to the cover or pages, lack of free pages, or the six-month rule required by countries such as the United States.
