Exchange and Study Abroad opportunities for incoming students
Will the Anahuac University in Mexico City help me with the visa application process?
No, unfortunately. The visa application process is personal and non-transferable, and therefore, only the applicant can request it. For this purpose, the Anahuac University in Mexico City will provide you an official Acceptance Letter that the Consulate of Mexico in your country will request as part of your visa application process.
Bear in mind that not all countries or stays require a visa to come to our country. For more information, please visit the following links (in Spanish):

Can I study at the Anahuac University in Mexico City if I don’t speak Spanish?
The Anahuac University in Mexico City requests at least a B2 level of Spanish for you to make the most of our classes offered in Spanish. If your Spanish level is lower than this, please contact the Coordinator for Inbound Students: denisse.gallegos@anahuac.mx to assess your case, suggest you options so you do not miss out the experience of being at the Anahuac University in Mexico City.
