Im a U.S. Resident, do I need a visa to visit Italy, France and Switzerland?

neoplop

The CORRECT information is that as a Mexican national you do NOT need a visa for these countries.

Mexican citizens do NOT need a tourist visa for less than 90 days to visit any of the countries that signed the Schengen accord. This is European Law which applies to Italy and France, but NOT Switzerland.

Switzerland does not require a visa for nationals of Mexico if the stay is under 90 days and the purpose of travel is tourism.

Your citizenship usually is what determines whether you need a visa, not your residency.

I think you just need your passport. I went to Europe some years back and that's all I needed. But with the new security regulations you'd better check (and do it soon).

Neoplop has given you the right answer

I live in Germany and as Neoplop said mexican citizens do not need a visa for the countries that belong to the Schengen agreement when the stay is not longer than 90 days.

Just to add an small remark to Neoplop's answer:

The link that he has provided you belongs to the Official Web of the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Under the topic

"Sont dispensÃ©s de visa"

you will find a list of all countries that do not require visa for a 90 days or less visit.

Just to check it out. The following link belongs to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there you will see a list of countries that require visa ... Mexico is not in the list, that means you do not visa :

Switzerland has other rules, but also in this case as mexican you do not need a visa if you are staying less than 90 days. See the official web of the Swiss Embassy in Mexico:

If I were you I would give Neoplop the 10 points.

You need a visa. You are not a US Citizen. Only US Citizens can travel into these countries without a visa.

The school group may be able to do some research for you, unless everyone else in the group is a US Citizen.

As a tourist, you usually do not need a visa to visit some nation, depending on the nation that you are a citizen of.

The thing I would be most worried about is whether you will be allowed to return to the USA.

All these answers apply to US Citizens only.

If you are not US Citizen you will need Visa depending on which nation you hold the passport of. Please visit the links below and find out details you need.

1. You do not need a visa to enter Italy.
You may enter Italy with a valid passport.
Once you have entered Italy the border authorities may ask to see documentation justifying the reasons for and duration of your stay.

2. American passport holders are not required to obtain a visa if they are travelling to France for tourism and business purpose only, and are staying in France a maximum of 90 days over a period of 180 days. They must however travel with a US passport expiring a minimum of 3 months after their departure from France, a return plane ticket, as well as documentary evidence of the purpose of the visit, means of support for the duration of the stay, accommodation arrangements and medical coverage abroad.

3. For Switzerland you will need Visa which costs about $34 for 3 months.
