Do Mexican Travellers Need a Permit?
Yes. If you are travelling on a Mexican passport, you need a permit to visit Madagascar for tourism. The process can usually be done online before departure. It is worth checking Madagascar visa eligibility first so you choose the right option.
Basic Entry Rules
Most permits for Mexican travellers are issued for one entry only. That means your approved dates should match your actual travel plan.
How it works
- The permit usually covers one entry into Madagascar.
- If you leave the country, you will usually need a new permit to come back.
- You must stay within the dates shown on the approval.
What to carry
- Carry a copy of the approved permit with your passport.
- Check the names, dates, and passport number before you fly.
- Follow the conditions written on the approved document.
Documents You Need
Before you apply, make sure you have these documents ready:
- Your Mexican passport with at least six months left from the date you arrive.
- A clear scan of the passport information page.
- A recent colour photo with a plain background.
- Files that are clear and easy to read.
- You can read more on the visa requirements page.
Processing Options
You can choose how quickly your application is reviewed. Faster options usually cost more, so pick the one that matches your travel date.
- Normal: for travellers who apply well before departure.
- Urgent: for travellers who need a quicker decision.
- Super Fast: for very urgent or last-minute trips.
How Long You Can Stay
Mexican travellers can usually choose the stay length that fits their trip. The usual options are 15, 30, or 60 days.
| Stay Length | Suitable For | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 15 days | Short visits | Short trips and quick visits |
| 30 days | Standard stays | Standard tourism trips |
| 60 days | Longer visits | Longer visits with more time to travel around |
Choose the stay length carefully because it affects both the cost and how long you can remain in Madagascar.
Why Applications Get Rejected
- Passport or personal details entered incorrectly.
- Blurry scans or poor-quality photo uploads.
- A passport that is too close to expiry.
- Files that are hard to read.
- Information on the form that does not match the passport.
