Belarussian travelling to Mexico

8/8/2016 6:02:54 PM

I’m not sure what you put into Timatic to cause it to display "Visa required, except for Passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State For details, click here for a maximum stay of 180 days." This seemed wrong to me, as I wasn’t aware of any such exception, and when I entered the information into Timatic, it did not appear.

Since you explicitly stated you’re looking for a more reliable source of information, here it is: The Mexican government.

Instituto Nacional de Migración states on its web site which countries’ nationals require a visa to visit Mexico (and what exemptions exist), and which countries’ nationals do not require a visa (but must still have a tourist card).

As you can see, Belarus is on the list of countries whose nationals require a visa to visit Mexico.

Further, you can see the list of exemptions, which makes no mention of Schengen visas at all.

No requerirá visa mexicana el extranjero que presente alguno de los siguientes documentos:

a) Documento que acredite residencia permanente en Canadá, Estados Unidos de América, Japón, el Reino Unido de la Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte, o cualquiera de los países que integran el Espacio Schengen.

b) Visa válida y vigente de los Estados Unidos de América.

c) Tarjeta de Viajero de Negocios de APEC (ABTC) aprobada por México.

(and two other exceptions for airline and ship crews)

So, if you have a visa for the US, then it’s OK. And if you have permanent residence in Canada, US, UK, Japan or one of the Schengen states, it’s also OK. But there doesn’t appear to be any exemption for your case.
