Dear Mexican embassy, I hope you are well. I am a British student on exchange currently in Strasbourg, and will be moving to Puebla in January to study for my second semester abroad at UDLAP. I have read online that I do not need a visa if I am staying for less than 180 days (only one semester), however I might need one for volunteering etc.. In an ideal world I would like to get a visa, however I will not be returning to London until late December and am set to fly early January. Am I eligible for a visa, and in your professional opinion should I get one? My plan is to be in Mexico January to May, then travel a bit in South America June and July, then come back to Mexico for one day at the end of July to fly home to the UK. Obviously this is all provisional, but I wondered if you can provide me with any advice? Furthermore, am I able to get a Mexican visa from the embassy in Paris instead of London, to save me a long and expensive trip back to the UK? Thanks and all best wishes, Ella Murton
