It is sufficient to hold a European or Canadian Passport which must be valid for the duration of your stay. Nevertheless, when entering as a tourist you are not allowed to undertake a paid activity. When immigrating as a tourist without a Visa you can only do an unpaid internship. Either in the plane or on the boarder to Mexico you will receive an Immigration Document (Forma Migratoria Mutiple). This Document will be stamped by Mexican Officials. It is important to keep this Document with you as it will be needed when leaving the country. For all paid activities\/remunerated internships a Visa is mandatory. The Visa must be requested from the Mexican Embassy in your country prior to your departure.<\/p>\n<p>Warning: In case of entering Mexico through the US it is mandatory to have an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). The registration for the Travel Authorization can be made online via their website. The ESTA registration costs 14USD (11\u20ac71) and is valid for 2 years. It is recommended to register for the ESTA at least 72h before the departure (Minimum response time). If purchasing the ESTA at the airport through an agency the costs amount to 50 Euros.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #37b0cd; font-size: 20pt;\">Good to Know<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Internships in Mexico<\/strong> are a new destination which is getting more attention overtime.
