Changing to Visitor Visa

The Consul General of Mexico has informed me that they require us to apply for visitor visas.
Here are the points to which you should pay attention.

1. Requirement: change from tourist to visitor visa. This usually takes 4 weeks, so if it is not possible before leaving, enter as a tourist and apply while in Mexico.

2. Reason: Problem of foreign activists coming in support of resistance organizations like APPO and the EZLN (Zapatistas).

3. Requirements to apply:

a. Visitor Visa Application.

b. Copy of airline ticket/flight printout

c. Copy of your passport

d. Letter from Go-Global agreeing to cover expenses.


4. Other suggestions. Considering their worries, it is best not to bring books on the Zapatista movement with you to Mexico.
