Canada

Electronic visa is a bit different that visa free. With visa free you don't need to do anything, you just arrive and hand in the passport. For Mexican nationals, it needs eTA, the electronic travel authorization, which is technically visa free, but you still need to apply online and receive authorization. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp Also the Visa requirement section for Canada is also misleading. It says Visa not required[37] 6 months; eTA required if arriving by air.[38] This seems to imply that "visa" is not required and eTA is required only if traveling by air. eTA is required for Mexican citizen to enter Canada, land, air or sea. Like I said, eTA is technically visa free, except it needs to be done prior to arrival, however, due to language, it seems to imply that eTA is only required when flying in, but not when you arrive by land or sea. https://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?SpecData=1&VISA=&page=visa&NA=MX&AR=00&PASSTYPES=PASS&DE=CA&user=KLMB2C&subuser=KLMB2C

The map does not show Australia as electronic visa, it should be updated as such. Also, Canada is partially visa free from 2016 (restrictions apply).--Coyotecal (talk) 16:35, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. eTA does not qualify as a visa because it is simply authorisation to travel. Mexican citizens do not need a visa to go to Canada. Canada remains visa-free and should remain so in the map. We've had this discussion at this British citizens talk page. The EU does not consider ESTA, eTA or eVisitor (Australia) to be a visa. Australia is different because you do need a visa for Australia, but the visa is online (which is how countries like Singapore also operate). st170e^talk 09:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see this Canadian government page which shows that eTAs are only for air travel. st170e^talk 09:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Canada is visa free because you need the eTA only to flight. If you cross by land or sea, for example in Niagara Falls you don't need the visa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyinsky (talk • contribs) 23:55, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cuba should be marked as visa free as buying Tourist Card equals basically Visa Free. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyinsky (talk • contribs) 09:55, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli stamps

@BushelCandle +Twofortnights, the problem with the Israeli stamps us that them seem to target specific type of countries: East Asian/West Pacific [China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea (South), Philippines, San Marino, and Thailand], major historically-Catholic countries [Andorra, Brazil, France, Hungary, Mexico, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, and Spain], and some random set of countries [Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Norway, and Serbia]. It explicitly excludes most Anglophone countries except Australia and New Zealand, African countries, Carribean countries, and certain large countries such as India, Italy, and Russia. There seem to be an intrinsic reason why the editor is intent on forewarning people from these countries. That and the statement reamins unsourced which may equate to vandalism. Shhhhwwww!!

Fix New Zealand and Egypt on Visa Requirements Map

Can someone please fix the Visa Requirements map, especially New Zealand?

The map shows New Zealand as being visa-free for Mexican nationals, when in reality, an eVisa is required.

Egypt should also be covered as Visa available on arrival *and* Online, and not just On Arrival. (https://www.visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/FAQ?VISTK) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24 biggest fan (talk • contribs) 17:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BEST PASSPORT MEXICAN IN WHOLE LATIN AMERICA

Good day everyone ... My humble request is that Mexican passport should be ranked higher than Brazilian and Chilean passport .. Of course Mexico is growing faster in each field 189.202.79.7 (talk) 09:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis should it be ranked higher, is it ranked higher than the other two on the Henley Passport Index? Or is it ranked higher because of your subjective opinion? Fork99 (talk) 09:26, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mexican national and Mexican citizen are not the same thing

As is the case in many countries who inherited the Roman tradition of law (and many countries in the Americas), nationality and citizenship are not the same thing (as, for example, are in the Anglospheric world). The Mexican Constitution goes as far as to define them in different articles: article 30 defines nationality, which is just the belonging to a specific State (and the right to hold a passport of that state, importantly); while citizenship, defined in article 34, is about holding political rights in the country (in Mexico, this requires having reached the age of 18 and having an "honest way of living"). This means that somebody can, in a perfectly normal situation, hold a Mexican passport (such as a minor), and not be a Mexican citizen at all.

As such, it is logical to call this page "Visa requirements for Mexican nationals" instead of "citizens"; and replace all instances of the latter (citizens) with the former (nationals). TractorDinosaur0839 (talk) 07:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
