• !
  An unclear or inconsistent purpose of visit, or signs of intended unauthorized work or residence.
• !
  A prior overstay or immigration violation in Mexico on record.
• !
  For visa-required nationalities: arriving without the mandatory consular visa (the FMM alone is not enough unless you hold a valid US, Canadian, Schengen, UK or Japanese visa or residence).
