You need to contact the nearst Mexican Consulate and they can help you apply for a visa. Try this website for information: http://www.mexonline.com/consulate.htm

Check out the link below for mailing and e-mail addresses of various Mexican Consulates in the US and Canada. Contact one near you and ask for an application for a student visa. The one in NYC, for example have a website from which you can download an application for visa from ( http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/downloadable_files/mexican_visa_app.PDF). Others probably have likewise. The student visa is called the FM-3 Visa in Mexico (http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/english.html)

How long will you be in Mexico? If you will be there less than 180 days, all you need is a tourist card...which you can obtain on the plane if you fly or at the border if you drive. You definetly DO NOT need an FM3. An FM3 is a visa for persons wanting to IMMIGRATE to Mexico! You also do not need an FM2...which is a visa that is renewed yearly and requires proof of about $1ooo.oo monthly income to obtain. I live in Mexico and am pretty knowledgeable about visas. I believe you just need the 6 month "tourist" card. You can call or visit the nearest Mexican consulate to ask for yourself. Go to the website below and click on "consular services" to find the list of consulates (click on "English version" first).
