China passport to Mexico
The matrix records a prior visa for Chinese passports to Mexico. A valid US, Canadian, Schengen or UK visa/residence sometimes waives a Mexican visa — confirm with INM and the carrier. Snapshot 2026-10.
Short answer: China passport holders need a visa for Mexico, applied for at an embassy, consulate or visa centre before travel.
Do not rely on unofficial lists. Without a third-country visa, apply at a Mexican mission. FMM or an electronic form may still be required.
