 Updated February 12, 2024 - The Visitax has been around for about 3 years but was poorly communicated or collected.  Mexico is getting more serious about this and will be taking steps to charge a penalty if you don't pay it. The charge is around $15 USD for each person, including children.  THERE ARE MANY SCAMMER WEBSITES.  Be sure you are using the right one. 

You can now pay VISITAX in $USD or $CDN effective February 1st, 2024. Travelkore is the most affordable and only source of VISITAX QR codes using North American & European Credit Card Processing and Data Privacy Standards. Here's more information about it.  The link to Travelkore is included.  You might as well pay it in advance and save yourself a delay.   

Tourists no longer need to complete the FMM. The immigration officer will stamp your passport and that's all!     

Citizens of the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and most EU countries do not need 

to enter Mexico as tourists for less than 180 days. Other Europeans can stay for 90 days. Non-US citizens travelling via the US, however, may need a US visa.  

Cancun International is part of a pilot program to permanently eliminate the use of the paper FMM. 

As of August 19, the National Migration Institute (INM) is including Cancun as one of the five airports in Mexico to test its elimination.

 According to Sergio González Rubiera, president of the Mexican Association of Travel Agencies (AMAV) in Quintana Roo, the program will reduce wait times from hours to minutes.

The new system will reduce wait times from two-plus hours to around 20 minutes he said. He also clarified that the stamping does not apply to all nationalities. Tourists arriving from Haiti, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela and Brazil will be the exception since visitors from Brazil, for example, are only granted 30-day visas.

There will be some other exceptions as well. Travelers arriving under special circumstances such as with work visas or student visas, will have to use the electronic FMM.

González Rubiera said that INM officials have already been trained on using the new paperless system. He said that the Cancun airport will join four others around the country in the program. The other Mexico airports with the paperless FMM system are AIFA of Santa Lucia, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta and San José del Cabo.

González Rubiera explained that the new program was put into effect 

 by the Mexican Caribbean Tourism Business sector to reduce INM airport wait times for tourists.  

-- When you enter Mexico, Customs officials will be tolerant if you are not carrying illegal drugs or firearms. Tourists are allowed to bring in their personal effects duty-free. The underlying guideline is: Don't bring anything that looks as if it's meant to be resold in Mexico. Those entering Mexico by air or sea can bring in gifts worth a value of up to $300 duty-free, except alcohol or tobacco products. 

Travelers bringing in goods beyond their personal effects worth $300.00 or more must declare those goods with Mexican customs (SAT) or risk having them confiscated

. This also applies to used goods and clothing, including items for donation.  

Educate yourself on what is permitted and what is prohibited. And be honest.

 COMMONLY PROHIBITED ITEMS THAT CARRY SEVERE CONSEQUENCES

In addition to firearms and illegal drugs, Mexico also prohibits the import of: 

 – This includes over-the-counter medicines, such as inhalers and allergy/sinus medication. The U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico specifically advises against bringing products that contain stimulants (for example, medicine that includes pseudoephedrine, which is a controlled substance, or codeine).

There are two airports that service Playa del Carmen. I strongly recommend you book to Cancun. With Cozumel, it gets more complicated. You need to get transportation to the ferry dock, then buy a ferry ticket, and then the good news is you can walk to the condo because we are so close the the dock.

We have been owners of our condo for 24 years.  Playa was just a sleepy little fishing village at that time.  My how things have changed. We have all the modern conveniences that you could possibly desire and still enjoy the natural beauty of Playa del Carmen.  Our condo is a one of a kind, oversized, corner unit within 50 feet of the beach.  You will really enjoy the view from our balcony.  We hope that you enjoy this little piece of paradise as much as we do.
