Visa Requirements for RTD

I just found out that to visit Mexico you need to get the usual $37 visitor visa and an additional affidavit fee for RTD holders of $62. Travel with only a Green Card is no longer accepted for entry to Mexico like Canada.

Which are the countries that allow you to visit on an RTD without a Visa? Most countries need a 6 month validity of travel document while issuing the visa here at the consulate and while arriving in their country.

With our long wait to get a RTD and with only 1 year validity things seem so difficult.

Any information on RTD travel will be appreciated.

hi Inq4gc,
i have travelled many times to mexico on an rtd. show all the documents they ask (bank statement, credit card, ticket etc) you for and there will be no problem. i also once i travelled to mexico for a week less than a month before my rtd expired, but they still gave me a visa for 60 days (as in the visa was valid longer than the rtd), so the 6 month validity on the rtd may not be an issue for the mexican visa.
on a similar note, i was told in the franch consulate they no longer issue schengen visa to asylees carrying rtd's so if someone needs to go there please check this information and plan accordingly.
here is another useful site someone posted here a wile ago

Does this also apply to border crossings by land? Correct me if I'm wrong but visits to Canada by air travel also requires some form of travel document (RTD, RP, or Passport) for US LPRs, right? But I don't think Canada request for a visa to LPRs from US visiting there whether they travel by land or air.

Quite frankly I think it's gonna hurt Mexico's tourist industry coz I know a lot of US residents enjoy visiting down there because of their open immigration policy. It's also unfair of Mexico, a NAFTA member, to impose such travel restrictions when Canada doesn't. What is the Mexican government trying to do? Get even with the US govt on their treatment of the illegals here? I thumb my nose at the Mexican government for this move and I'll boycott their tourist industry.

if you travel to mex by land you only need to show drivers license. the visa required is applicable to people of specific nationalities as in not everybody who is a PR needs a visa to go to mexico, so i wouldn't start boycotting their beaches quite yet :)
 
Yeah, I know they exempt visa to citizens from well-to-do countries like the EU, Canada, Japan, etc. But this being a forum for asylees, how many countries asylees are from (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, India, China, Rwanda, etc.) are exempt from visa requirement to travel to Mexico?

Germany will admit RTD holders without visa. Used to be one could travel to Mex with GC alone, I heard now one has to get a tourist card.

62 + 37 = 99 dollars to enter MEXICO? Affidavit? What are they affaid of, that we are going to go and work there LOL? I personally wouldn't give them a dime and go to Hawaii instead.
