I'm a UK resident. Do I need a US visa to visit Mexico as a tourist?

Question

I was refused a travelers visa to the US because of a minor road traffic offence from over 3 years ago, and they said I had to go to the US embassy in London to apply for a visitors visa. It seems a lot of hassle for a holiday so I've decided on Mexico instead. All I need to know is whether or not I need a US visa to travel there also? I'm not sure if the two countries are 'tied in' wth their visa waiver scheme.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Of course you don't need an american visa to come to México!

We are separated countries!

You need that only if you are going to be on transit thru USA; but coming directly here, you don't need that visa.

Answer 2

No...the two countries are not "tied in" in any way on visas.  you may go to mexico and get a tourist card on the plane.

Answer 3

You don't need a US visa to visit Mexico.
