Visa requirements for Australians to enter Mexico?

No, according to this page: http://www.learn4good.com/travel/mexico_visa.htm#r...

I've just visited the official mexican goverment web site:

According to the national inmigration institute you do not need a visa, if you are traveling as a turist.

It is funny, but it starts only in spanish and when you get into the visa info you get this info also in english, how english native speakers should get there is unknown lol . Therefore I have made a copy and paste of the info:

You can enter Mexico without a visa showing your passport and the "migration Form for Tourists, Transmigrants, Visiting Businesspersons, or Visiting Consultants", which you can obtain from travel agencies, airlines, or at your point of entry into Mexico.

This option also applies for permanent legal residents in the USA or Canada, regardless of nationality.

The migration agent at your point of entry may also ask you to prove that you have the necessary economic resources for your stay and a return ticket to your country of origin.

Under an agreement with Canada and the USA, those countries' citizens may prove their nationality with a passport or other public documents, such as:

Certified copy of birth certificate.

Voter registration card.

Naturalization certificate.

If any of these documents lack a photograph, travelers must prove their nationality with another official identification:

Driver's license.

Identification issued by a state or official agency.

Although Canadian and US citizens do not need a passport, the National Institute of Migration recommends one to expedite passage through the point of entry.

* Chinese citizens with passports issued by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The above answer is over exaggerating slightly inspite of the indisputable fact that it truly is real that the border area of Mexico is risky as a results of drug trafficking. i information you locate a cheap flight from the U. S. to safer factors of Mexico, alongside with the Yucatan peninsula or Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast. verify with the Mexican embassy in Australia to ascertain what their criteria are for Australians travelling their usa. i'm quite particular they have a visa waiver for Australian vacationers so all you'll need is a valid passport.

Here it is:
