The embassy carries Thailand's widest accreditation stack in the Americas: six states — Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba, Belize, and Haiti — route their Thai affairs through Mexico City, with no resident Thai mission in any of them. Visa applications are online-only via the e-Visa portal; the 10:00-13:00 window handles legalisation and document work at the counter.

Frequently asked questions

Do Mexicans need a visa for Thailand?

Not for stays up to 60 days — Mexican passports use the standard tourist exemption. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is mandatory for everyone, registered free online within three days before arrival. Longer stays — work, study, retirement — run through the e-Visa portal thaievisa.go.th.

Which countries does the Thai embassy in Mexico City cover?

Mexico plus six accredited states: Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba, Belize, and Haiti — Thailand's widest accreditation stack in the Americas, with no resident mission in any of the six. Their residents apply through the online e-Visa system naming their country of residence; Mexico City processes the applications.

What are the Thai embassy's hours in Mexico City?

Monday to Friday, 10:00-16:00 — with visa and legalisation business limited to the morning window, 10:00-13:00. The chancery is at Alpes 365 in Lomas de Chapultepec, reached on +52 55 5540 4551 or +52 55 5540 4529.

Which email reaches the right desk in Mexico City?

Three mailboxes, split by task: thaiconsulate.mx@gmail.com for the consular section (visas, legalisation, Thai-national services), thaienmx@gmail.com for cultural affairs, and thaiembassy.mex@mfa.go.th for general matters — yes, the consular desk genuinely runs on the gmail address; it is the one the embassy publishes.

How does someone in Cuba or Guatemala apply for a Thai visa?

Through the same online e-Visa portal as everyone else — thaievisa.go.th, naming their country of residence — with the Mexico City embassy processing the application. Each passport follows its own entry terms, so travellers from the accredited countries should check their current conditions on the portal before booking.
