  1. Hello,

    I am a Canadian (living in Canada) looking to get a holiday work visa or full work visa for Mexico. Is it rather straight forward to apply for without having a sponsor or job already set up? Is there any sort of temporary work visa available?
    Many thanks x

    1. Hi Chelsea,

      Sorry, our website wasn’t properly updated.

      You are in fact in able to apply for a working holiday visa in Mexico, which allows you to travel and work in Mexico up to one year.
      You can apply if:
      – you are between 18-30 years old,
      – have sufficient funds for your travels,
      – have a passport,
      – have health and travel insurance

      You can apply for the WHV at you nearest Mexican Consulate / Embassy in Canada. You must apply in person.
      Perhaps call ahead to make sure you bring along the right documents which are needed for applying for the visa.

      Hopes this helps.

      Cheers
      Maria
