Free 7-day pass for Guatemalan, Belizean, Honduran, and Salvadoran residents to visit Mexico's southern border states.
The Regional Visitor Permit (Visitante Regional) allows nationals of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador residing in border municipalities to enter five southern Mexican states: Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán. Created under the 2011 Migration Law and bilateral cooperation agreements, it streamlines cross-border movement for commerce, tourism, and family purposes.
The permit is issued free at authorized INM border crossings with immediate processing. Valid for 5 years, it allows multiple entries of up to 7 days each. No work authorization is granted; travel beyond designated zones is prohibited. Replacement of a lost card costs approximately MXN 522.
This visa is ideal for residents of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, or El Salvador in border municipalities seeking efficient, short-term access to Mexico's southern states without formal visa procedures.
