Migration & Student Visas
Students coming for one semester are permitted to enter the country without a student visa for up to 180 days. In the event your country is on the list, you must hold a valid visa to enter the country regardless of the duration of your stay.
For students staying more than 180 days (two semesters), UP will provide a letter for visa approval. To apply for a visa, students must go to the nearest Mexican Consulate in their home country. It is recommended that students apply as soon as they receive the acceptance letter, since the visa process may take several weeks.

Medical Insurance Tips for International Students
Keep in Mind
Check your insurance policy and pay attention to the conditions that are not covered.
Saved the number to make a claim in your phone in case of an emergency.
If you are planning on doing 'extreme' sports (motocross, parkour, mountain climbing, etc.), check your policy to see what your coverage is. Many insurance providers do not cover these activities.
Have a budget to cover the cost of an emergency. Some insurance companies do not reimburse automatically or quickly.
When it comes to Covid coverage, insurance plans can vary. Read your policy carefully and ask your insurance provider if you have questions.
Keep in mind that if you have an accident under the influence of alcohol or drugs it is very likely that your insurance policy will not cover you.
