Documentation

For most travelers on a USA to Mexico flight, a valid passport is required. U.S. citizens don’t need a visa for stays under 180 days, but you’ll need to fill out the Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), which can be completed online or upon arrival. For more specific travel rules based on your nationality, check the official Volaris guide: Travel Documents and Requirements.
