Up to 180 days without a visa, per the visa-matrix snapshot of 19 July 2026. Entry rules change — re-check gob.mx/inm before booking.
Can Canadian citizens extend a stay in Mexico?

What happens if Canadian citizens overstay in Mexico?
This page's dataset covers entry status, not enforcement. In general, overstays risk fines and future refusals anywhere — get the corridor specifics from gob.mx/inm well before your window closes.
