Hello everyone,

I have an IR-1 visa for the USA. I just want to ask if I want to go to mexico and canada , do I need a visa for it? Will my passport and greencard enough for me to present to the immigration people of those countries? I will really appreciate any infos regarding this.

Thank you very much in advance..

Have a nice day

Sam

I just showed the officer my passport and GC, and off we go across the border to Canada
Never been to Mexico though, so not sure what you need.

All Green Card holders can visit Canada without visa (by contrast, most Canada PR's do need explicit B2 visas to visit US). For information on Mexico, you'd better visit the website(s) of its embassy/consulates in US (or CALL them).

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with regards to my question. So I'm happy to know that I can go to Canada without a visa as long as my Greencard and passport.

God Bless..
Sam

That a good link, thanks!

But what do they mean by "Tourist Card/FMT form issued by airlines"???

Visa not required for a touristic stay of max. 180 days,

provided holding:
- proof of residence; and
- Tourist Card/FMT form issued by airlines (free of charge)

Anyone knows?

I have been to Mexico, but on AP. Did not need a Visa, but check on the Mexican Consulate site as to what you need. Seem to recollect it was pretty comprehensive.
