A: If you have a valid U.S. Advance Parole and a valid Employment Authorization Document (EAD), you might not need a visa to visit Mexico. Mexican immigration laws generally allow U.S. visa holders or those with a valid entry document to enter Mexico without an additional visa for short stays. However, it's important to confirm this by checking with the nearest Mexican consulate or their official website, as rules can sometimes vary depending on your nationality.

Additionally, make sure that your Advance Parole document will remain valid for the duration of your trip and that you have the proper documentation for re-entry into the U.S. upon your return. Always carry copies of your travel documents, including the Advance Parole, to avoid any issues at the border.

It's a good idea to double-check everything before your departure to ensure a smooth trip. Enjoy your travels to Mexico!
