Visa Overview
If you stay under six months, you will not need an entry visa to enter and reside in Mexico unless your host school requires it.
You will, however, be required to provide a notarized parental consent form with apostilles so that AFS-MEX can make arrangements with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs In Mexico.
