Hi,

I hold a visa for one of the british overseas territory.Do I need to apply for visa or should i bring fmm form.

Below is the wording from the mexican embassy site which talks about exemption on holding uk visa

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).

As only you have your passport details, check documentation requirements for yourself here.

Every group has its own dynamics, if you can't see the idiot then it's probably you.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think :-D

I'm suggesting that the Mexican person who wrote this up is using the word VISA to mean passport!
Unless you are a citizen of the above named countries or the EU, you will have to obtain a VISA to enter Mexico!

I found another website where a similar question was asked, and the answer was no, you don´t need a visa for Mexico to visit as a tourist if you have a valid visa for UK (but no distinction was made for overseas territory.)

No visa required but everyone entering Mexico must obtain an FMM ( tourist permit )........

IMO a visa for a British overseas territory is not the same as a UK visa.

Why not tell us the territory, but most of the territories decide who to give visas to, not the UK government, so I doubt very much that the Mexicans will consider it the equivalent of UK visa. The Mexicans have considerable problems with Indians trying to sneak into North America via Mexico.

I think they meant it exactly as written. A lot of countries let people who would normally require and probably not easily get a visa, in without a visa if they hold a valid visa from that same list of countries.
