VISA REGULATIONS FOR TUKMEN CITIZENS

The Embassy of Mexico in Turkey would like to inform that a visa is required for Turkmen citizens who wish to visit Mexico for the following reasons: touristic, transit, business, education, participation in conferences and members of the press.

(I) First of all, the Embassy of Mexico would like to point out that the approval for the visa application is not given by the Mexican Embassy itself; all visa applications submitted to the Mexican Embassy are initially conveyed to the Visa and Immigration department in Mexico City. The procedures for the visa approval are submitted through e-mail via internet. The Visa and Immigration Department´s officials estimate that the process for analyzing and replying to the applications takes at least 30 days. For this reason, visa applications should be submitted to the Mexican Embassy within 30 (thirty) days prior to the intending travel to Mexico.

(II) After the estimated 30 days have passed, the Institute for National Migration (INM), which is the responsible Mexican authority for the visa procedures, sends to the Embassy a positive or negative response via e-mail for each applicant.

(III) When the Embassy of Mexico receives a positive response regarding the visa applications from the INM, our Consulate in Ankara is authorized to affix the visa label on the passport and the person will be able to enter Mexico with a valid visa. The traveler may submit the visa application to the Embassy of Mexico in Ankara during the scheduled hours (except for the official and religious holidays, from 09:00 hrs. to 10:00 hrs. from Mondays to Fridays).

(IV) Only after the Embassy of Mexico receives a positive reply regarding the visa application from the INM officials, the Consulate in Ankara can affix the visa stamp on the passport of the applicant.

(V) It is important to point out that there is no need to call the Consular Section of the Embassy of Mexico inquiring about the application. The Consular Department at the Embassy will contact the applicant directly and will inform the corresponding outcome. The contact information will be taken from the personal data given by the applicant at the moment of fulfilling the application form.
