Matters needing attention when China people go to Mexico.

BEIJING,165438+1October 26th According to the WeChat WeChat official account of the China Embassy in Mexico, Mexico's entry policy is extremely strict. In recent years, many Mexican citizens have been repatriated by the Mexican Immigration Bureau because they do not meet the entry conditions, causing losses to relevant parties. At present, in the context of the continuous spread of the epidemic in COVID-19, the risk of infection has also increased during repatriation. In addition, because some transit airports do not have the conditions to detect COVID-19 nucleic acid and serum-specific IgM antibody, the parties concerned also face the risk of staying in transit airports. In view of this, in order to enhance Mexican citizens' understanding of China's visa and entry policies, make good preparations for entry and exit, and improve the possibility of being allowed to enter the country, we once again remind you of the following precautions:

First, Mexican visas are generally divided into four categories: tourism, students, business and technology. Business and technical visas are divided into profit-making (that is, engaging in paid activities or earning income) and non-profit. Please be sure to complete the corresponding visa according to your real purpose of coming to Mexico, so as to avoid being refused entry because there is no visa or the visa type does not match the entry purpose. China citizens are especially reminded not to try to muddle through with other types of visas, because it is difficult to apply for a for-profit visa.

2. In order to facilitate Mexican citizens to go to China, China grants visa-free treatment to Mexican citizens who hold long-term valid multiple-entry visas from the United States, Canada, Schengen countries, Japan, Britain and other countries or permanent residence cards from Colombia, Peru and Chile. However, it should be noted that in practice, in addition to holding a valid US visa and providing complete supporting materials, visa-free entry abroad can basically be guaranteed. China citizens with Canadian, Japanese, Schengen or British visas, or China citizens with Colombian, Peruvian and Chilean permanent residence cards are still at risk of being refused entry.

3. According to Mexico's entry policy, whether you hold a Mexican visa, a long-term valid multiple-entry visa from the United States, Canada, Schengen countries, Japan, Britain and other countries, or a permanent residence card from Colombia, Peru, Chile and other countries, it only means that the person concerned can reach the Mexican port and apply for entry, but does not guarantee entry. All foreigners arriving at Mexican ports must be inspected, and Mexican immigration officials will decide whether to allow entry according to Mexican laws and regulations. In practice, if a foreigner only holds a passport and visa without supporting documents (such as invitation letter, return air ticket, hotel order, bank card or cash) to prove his entry purpose, he will not be allowed to enter the country. It should be noted that all kinds of proof materials should be in paper form and should be carried with you. Those stored in mobile phones, computers or checked baggage will not be accepted. China citizens are advised to print all materials in advance, take the initiative to show them to immigration officials when they receive the second inspection, and truthfully explain the purpose of entry, so as to win the understanding of the other party.

Four, if refused entry, the parties will be repatriated. The number of repatriation flights is determined by the airline. Under normal circumstances, airlines will arrange for the parties to leave the country on the original plane or the latest flight. However, it often happens that the parties wait for three to four days because the airline tickets are sold out on the same day or the next day, there is no spare space or there are too few operating flights.

5. During the period of verification and waiting for repatriation, the parties concerned are not allowed to use mobile phones, computers and other equipment, but their personal safety and humanitarian treatment will be guaranteed. Advise relatives and friends not to panic and wait patiently. The parties concerned can apply to use the telephone of the Immigration Bureau (instead of their own mobile phones) to make calls to the outside world, or contact relatives and friends to report their safety, or contact their consular officials for help when their legitimate rights and interests are infringed. In order to avoid "losing contact", it is suggested that the parties take the initiative to apply to the immigration bureau for contact with the outside world.

Six, in recent years, China citizens were refused entry reasons mainly include:

The materials provided by (1) are insufficient to prove the purpose of coming to Mexico. If you are invited to Mexico to visit relatives and friends, discuss cooperation or provide technical support, but you don't bring the invitation letter issued by your relatives, friends, partners or companies, or the invitation letter is written in a language other than Spanish or English, the immigration officials will not accept it; Or even with an invitation letter, there is no contact phone number and address of the inviter on it; Or the inviter doesn't answer the phone, or the situation described on the phone conflicts with the information provided by the parties.

(2) The visa is inconsistent with the actual entry purpose. For example, you come to Mexico for business investigation but hold a tourist visa, or you come to Mexico to provide technical support for related companies but hold a business visa or a non-profit technical visa. In practice, from time to time, Mexican enterprises send employees to China to provide technical guidance or business training for their branches, subsidiaries or partners, but the parties concerned are refused entry and repatriation because they hold business visas or non-profit technical visas.

(3) Inconsistency in answering questions from immigration officials. For example, it was called a business trip to Mexico at first, and later called a trip to Mexico; First, I said I was coming to work, and then I changed my mind and said I was coming to visit relatives when I found that the visa type was wrong. For example, he claimed that he was visiting relatives, and then he said that he had no relatives or friends in Mexico.

(four) issued false documents and materials. If you present a forged Mexican passport or residence card to apply for entry, or present a residence card or visa approval letter illegally obtained through bribery.

In addition, if the person concerned has been refused a visa or repatriated by the United States, he will usually be refused entry whether he holds a Mexican visa or not. If you have been refused a visa or entry to Mexico, or if you violate the rules or do not meet the requirements when you go through the formalities at the Mexican immigration office, you may be refused a visa or entry even if you get a new Mexican visa or residence.
