Disha Shah Ghosh - Mumbai Mexico has started issues visas to Indian nationals in Mumbai since April, having opened the Consulate last year.
Shedding light on this, Adolfo García Estrada, Consul General of Mexico in Mumbai, said, “Any Indian national wanting to visit Mexico, holding a valid UK, USA, Canada, Schengen or Japan visa doesn’t need to apply for a visa. For others, one can apply for a Mexican visa at the Consulate in Mumbai or the Embassy in New Delhi. It is a multiple-entry visa with six months validity. The visa fee is USD 53, and we take around 10 working days of processing time.”
He was talking to TravelBiz Monitor at an event hosted by the Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) Western Region along with Global Destinations for the members to familiarise them with Mexico and its tourist offerings.
Addressing members, Ajay Prakash, President, TAFI, said, “It was interesting to learn about Mexico and how it is a new destination that Indians can explore. Likewise, we hope, citizens of Mexico visit India and explore our vast country, to see the sheer variety we have to offer.”
Currently, Indian nationals can reach Mexico via Dubai or Istanbul hubs. “The establishment of direct air access depends on the demand,” the CG said. The popular destinations are Mexico City and Cancun.
At the event, Global Destinations, which represents Mexican DMC ‘Trip to Mexico’, gave a presentation about the opportunities for FITs to explore the nation.
