Can a temporary Dutch resident enter Mexico without a visa?

Upvote:1

As stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines:

Visa required, except for Passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State for a maximum stay of 180 days

and

Visa required, except for Passengers with a permanent residence permit issued by Netherlands for a maximum stay of 180 days

So you cannot use your residence permit to enter Mexico, but if your long-stay visa (in your passport) is still valid, you can show that to the Mexicans and enter for up to 180 days.

Temporary Dutch residence won't do it (it must be permanent), but the Visas Department of the Consulate General of México in San Francisco is specific that your Schengen visa will suffice (emphasis mine):

General Information:

A. Effective March 1st 2010, all visitors traveling to Mexico either by air, land or sea are required to present a valid (non-expired) Passport or Travel Document from their country to enter Mexico.

B. With the purpose of facilitating and promoting travel to Mexico, effective May 2016 all those foreign nationals, regardless of their nationality, visiting Mexico for tourism, business or transit are NOT required to obtain a Mexican visa IF they hold a valid (non-expired) Visa or Permanent Residence of any of this countries: United States of America, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom or Schengen area (European Union).
