I have been searching for weeks for someone to break it down like you did. Thank you sooooooo much
How'd you found it helpful.
Very helpful! Thank you!
We got back earlier this month, March 2024, everything was dead on accurate. We paid our visitation before leaving, this tax is for infrastructure maintenance, as tourism puts a load on the city of Cancun. We had another wonderful week in this beautiful country. Have a happy holiday
Great!
Simple and informative, thanks
Glad you found it helpful
Thank you again Angie for the update my group leaves in July. Thanks again!
Great!
Omg thank you so much. This was perfect and to the point.
Glad it helped!
Angie you are always so helpful !!
Thanks!
going to cancun in a week this helps a lot with my pre-travel stress so thank you!!
Have a great trip!
Thanks for this helpful info !!!
Glad you found it helpful.
Great video. Very detailed.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. This is exactly what i needed
Glad you found it helpful.
Wow thanks so much for sharing this Information!
Glad you found it helpful
Just used this last week. The whole process took 2 whole minutes...and that was the 4 people in front of us. The actual scanning was about 40 seconds. Then getting our bags was 90 minutes. The tax is not checked. No one asks if you paid it. I did not pay
Look at you law breaker!
Amazing video. Thanks
Glad you found it helpful.
We were there early December 2023 and only 2 Kiosk were open. Before you get in line to go through Kiosk make sure green lights are on. There were plenty of agents available and no lines. Only line was at Kiosks. Have nice trip!
Yes. We beat the kiosk line on our last two trips.
Great info Angie.
Hi Frank!! Great to see you. Thanks.
Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful.
Great video! thanks
Glad you found it helpful
Also important, please don't show aggression. We went last December, and so many people were being aggressive, we saw the same people that were aggressive being screened through security. Not sure why people have to be aggressive, but take a deep breathe and relax, traveling is stressful enough for some.
Great advice.
Did you have to be searched
The Federales just sent us through to our resort bus, no search...and they were really helpful@@micahwoolfolk4020
never had aggression from any mexican ever hmm
Informative and photography of actual airport and NOT YOU..... great, useful tips, Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Is this the same for all of the terminals? We're coming in on a charter, which I think will be in Terminal One. Are these the same gates no matter which terminal one arrives at? Or, the same TYPE at each terminal? Because I've also read that custom forms are required at Terminal 2, but not the others. But one encounters customs AFTER going through these gates?
No. It's not the same in all terminals. I don't know if Terminal One has kiosks. You will go through immigration, claim your bags, and then go through customs.
Flew here last month. Arriving in cancun was a nightmare for our first time travelling. Also children are not allowed to use E gates. Only one line is E Gates. Be prepared to wait a long time for you checked even after standing in line for an hour or more. Departure from Cancun was a much better experience.
Yep. I explain about the kids in the video.
Did you pay the tax that she mentioned in the video? I saw some people said they didn’t check for that
They're called E gates. I understand there is a QR code on the receipt you get. You're supposed to scan the QR code with your phone and it takes you to a website that has an electronic form you need to fill out. I've heard the system isn't fully implemented yet, though, and, last i heard, they're not even asking to see your receipt on your return trip.
I went through the system. You don't need to scan the QR code.
@@TripswithAngie I go back in November. I'll see then.
I'm here now. I have the receipt from the E gates as I entered. I have tried to scan the QR code but it takes me to a website that says Service is temporarily unavailable. The Welcome To Mexico Important And Mandatory Notice receipt says you MUST scan the code but it is not working for me. Any other ideas ?
@@staceysimerman2339 I didn't need to scan the QR code.
@@staceysimerman2339 I would just hold onto it. I don't think their system is fully implemented yet. No one will probably check it when you leave.
Super helpful. Thank you.
Wondering if our return flight is from a different Airport, do we still need to pay VISITTAX?
Yes. You still visited the area that requires the tax.
what happens if you tried to pay the visitax twice and both times and error occurs?
@@morganoleary6898 First make sure you are using the right website. Just keep trying.
What do we do with the reciept we get at the e-gates when we departure? Do we turn it in at customs? Or is there a kiosk?
Just hold onto it.
Please clarify using the immigration line “all the way to the left.” I meet all the criteria, U.S. citizen etc. But after a few days in Cancun will be traveling on to Colombia, not returning to the U.S. just yet. Am I able to still use that line?
Yes.
Do you know if terminal 4 has security for those who meet the special conditions That would be awesome to avoid the long lines!
Terminal 4 has arrival kiosks.
From what I understand, if you are a US citizen this tax is already included in the price of your airline ticket.
That is incorrect.
Great video, thanks. I assume a family of 5 with one 16 year old means we can't use the E Kiosks?
Correct.
Hi There, thanks for the video. Can you confirm which terminal this is? From Toronto, using Sunwing, I believe they use Terminal 2 In Cancun. Is this 2 arrivals?
This is Terminal 3.
Hi, do you happen to know if we need to complete the tourist card online? The Cancun Airport website says we need to complete online. I’m confused because I thought they did away with this.
We didn't. I go through exactly what we did in the video.
Hi. Great video. I'm flying into Cancun from the US via Delta. As part of my ticket price I have paid the Mexico-Tourism Tax (Derecho No Inmigrante). Is this the tax you are mentioning in the video?
No. The tax I mention in the video is the departure tax. It is not included in any airline's ticket.
@@TripswithAngie thank you for the reply. Yikes, I have also been charged a MEXICO-AIRPORT DEPARTURE TAX TUA (XD) in the amount of $31.90 USD. Guess I better call the airline. Thanks again.
@@michelletucker6731 If it was the right tax, you should have received a QR code.
@@michelletucker6731 Also - I'm not clear how the airline can help you since this tax has never been collected by the airline. Visitax has always required direct payment by foreign tourists.
@@TripswithAngie I reached out to the airline to seek clarification for what I was being charged by the airline. First time MX traveler here. Seems there is a MX departure tax as well as a Quintana Roo departure tax. I get it now.
Are there E-gates for immigration at all terminals? I’m flying Southwest which I think is Terminal 4.
My understanding is that Terminal 4 has the egates.
Other then the departure tax, do we need to complete the travel cards as well?
No.
So no need for the travel card ? Like the ffm or fmm whatever it was called ??
Correct. That has been discontinued.
Hi do you know how long the wait times are in December planning a trip in a couple of days
I'd love to book your all inclusive vacation. Email angie@tripswithangie.com if you have a US passport. Wait times depend on which terminal, how many flights are arriving at the same time, and if you checked luggage.
Can you prepay this tax before you arrive in Mexico? It’s nice to have the admin stuff done.
Yes. You should prepay it: www.visitax.gob.mx
Hi, im flying with club med from yvr canada. did you see club med there? i have no idea where my transportation is going to be. Also is the visit tax mandatory? Thanks!
Yes. They will have a sign. Yes. Visitax is mandatory.
@@TripswithAngie Ok, Thank you!
So, for that customs faster lane and the "no kids" part--does that mean no kids under 18? We're going in March and both our "kids" are 21+.
Even though they are kids to you, they are adults to the rest of the world. Yes. It means under 18 years old.
@@TripswithAngie Great . . . thank you for the amazingly quick response. We've been to Cancun a couple times but has been about 6 years since the last visit. Thank you for the video--the automated customs and visit tax are new since we were there last.
@@tahusker Take a look at the lines. Our last two trips the regular line was faster than the kiosks.
@@TripswithAngie Sounds good . . . will do. Thank you, again. Will check out your other videos. We're going to Ziva Cancun this time around and really excited. Looks like an amazing property.
I don't recall any tax when I left Cabo or PVR.
This video is for Cancun. It's a state tax - not federal.
Going to Cancun in a couple days for the first time. So for immigration all I gotta do is present my passport no other immigration forms needed?
It depends on where your passport is from. If it is a US or Canadian passport, that's true. You may be asked to see the QR code confirming you paid the Visitax.
We paid this Visitax in past years( which never got scanned or had to show proof) but this year we went in April 2023 and did not. There were no signs or any personal trying to collect it. So are you saying they have personal actually asking for proof of payment and will not let you pass into security unless you paid this?
Nope. Just saying it's the law.
So how exactly would any tourist know this without having seen your CZcams video? I've been down to Mexico many times and I have never paid any tax other than the tax that was added to my airfare. @@TripswithAngie
@@Frank_Rizzo100 1. Use a travel agent. 2. Read the signs in the airport. 3. Research entry requirements for the country you are visiting.
What time did y’all land and what terminal did y’all go do?
Terminal 3 around 11 am
Hello, so are you given 180m days by the kiosk? Does anyone actually ask questions about how long you will be there or affect how long you can stay as a tourist? I had a really bad experience in Queretaro with an agent giving me much less time than I needed. Thinking of flying into a better airport this time.
The amount you can stay depends on your passport. If you qualify to use the kiosk, you don't talk to anyone.
@@TripswithAngie Thank you. I'm not sure how it will depend on my passport, but thanks for the info on the kiosk. Sounds good.
@@basementtunesentertainment279 Mexico has different rules for tourist visas depending on your country of origin.
@@TripswithAngie Got ya. Well we will see. Thank you!
@@antoniohernandez2148Passport book
What happens if you went to Cancun didn’t pay your visitax and got back home with no issues? They never asked me anything not allowing me to leave the airport back home!
You broke the law. You didn't get caught this time. Rumors are at some point they may run a passport number match to see who has visited but not paid. I'm not sure how likely that is.
@@TripswithAngie THAT's a BIG FAT LIE.. it is a gringo trap from what i've been told by locals. Been travelling every year there IT IS ALREADY PAID on within your airport flight DUH
Then what? Are they going to have you extradited?@@TripswithAngie
@@Frank_Rizzo100 if you want to break the law and try to find out, go for it. I'll follow the law. It's linked to your passport.
@@TripswithAngie lol
What if you’re from Poland and you live in USA but you have geeen card and passport from Poland?
It's my understanding that you cannot use the kiosk since you don't have a US passport.
I saw to use the kiosk you have to be over 18 years old. Does that mean an 18 year old cant use it?
Sorry - it's 18 and up.
Do you think me and my girlfriend would be able to go through the kiosks on the left, we meet all requirements, but we arent technically "family" as we arent married
Yes. You don't need to be traveling with a member of your family to use the kiosk.
@@TripswithAngie thank you for getting back to me so fast, I really appreciate it :)
Is the visitax the same price for adults and children
Yes.
Is it similar for the family line??
No. You meet with an officer.
Great video. Can the tax be paid at the airport?
I did not see a kiosk to pay it when I was there.
Yes
Do you still need to fill out a health questionnaire?
No. I cover all the steps in the process in the video.
I’ll look at it again
Why do we have to pay tax for a holiday I already paid for ?
Because the Mexican government says so.
Not U.K. passport 😢 also been twice in last 18 months never payed the tax
Probably shouldn't brag about breaking the law.
@@TripswithAngie you might want to clarify what you are commenting about the departure tax is included in our airline ticket for most U.K. operators there has also been an environmental tourist tax has been in place since April 21 it was not a legal requirement and on my 2 trips since then I have never been asked to pay it or show anything to say it was payed wasn’t trying to avoid it maybe it’s changed now and they have set up actual processes
@@michelleg4674 The tax has been a legal requirement since it was enacted. It is not included in any nationality's ticket. It is also different from the environmental tax. It is a departure tax that must be paid through the website shown in the video. The fact you've chosen to break the law and got away with it does not mean that law does not exist.
@@michelleg4674The one on your ticket is federal tax. The one online is state tax for cancun. This is only if you depart from Cancun airport. For example let's say you arrived at Cancun airport but depart on to Mexico City Airport. You don't have to pay departure tax because it's only at the state level. The state departure tax isn't enforced as of now.
@@hiddengem2930 I was just trying to make the comment that it wasn’t being enforced but got my hand seriously slapped
I’ve never paid a visitax. This is new??
No.
Does anyone knows if an American Citizen needs to do a FMM registration?
The video includes all the steps.
@@TripswithAngie I saw it all and did not see it
@@beeee4249 Then, it's not required. :)
What if your from Australia ?
You'll stand in the line.
Cancun Airport
Yes. This is the Cancun airport.
Do i need a tourist card?
The video includes all the steps. A tourist card is not one of them.
How many airports are in Cancun?
One
Do u have to pay this text on departure
You pay online anytime before your departure.
@@TripswithAngie is this mandatory?
@@clintbrewster9282 Yes.
@@TripswithAngie thank you
@@clintbrewster9282 Sure. You'll likely read online that no one confirms you've paid. It is tied to your passport number so I want to make sure everyone at least knows about it.
Is Visitax mandatory?
Yes.
@@TripswithAngie i visited mexico the last 2 yrs n i dont recall havin to pay this tax but had no problems enterin mexico or leavin
@@hurkulese09 You broke the law. You happened not to get caught. It's still the law.
@@TripswithAngie apparently thousands of people r breakin this law every single day from the responses im seein,never even heard of this tax before utube suggested this video to me
@@hurkulese09 That could be. All I know is that it is the law. If you want to break a law in Mexico, go for it. I'm not going to risk a trip to a Mexican police station over $12. But that's just me. I am also generally very respectful of the laws of foreign countries. 1 million people could say they were never asked for a receipt. And 100 bloggers could say don't worry about it. And then one day, you show up at the airport and they are enforcing it and then it's a big problem. I think you should at least know you are breaking a law.
Once you get your luggage walk out immediately otherwise you will be hassled by timeshare promoters!
I mention that in the video. ✅
Yes. Thanks. After our first time, we booked transport to the hotel ahead of our arrival. Dreams hotels have very aggressive staff pushing you to get membership upon arrival.@@TripswithAngie
they ain't that pushy though
Hello what’s the visit tax
It is a tax visitors are required to pay.
How much was it total ?
@@shanec4911 259 pesos per person
On the tax u have to pay is that per persin or can both be on 1 ??
It is per person but you can pay for more than one person on a single transaction as I showed in the video.
@@TripswithAngie TY
you do not need to pay those taxes, they are gringo traps. Been travelling years there
need e-passport ?
Yes.
I would rather just stay in the USA
Then you definitely won't need to watch this video.
There are fake visitax sites. Which one did you use? Can you share the link?
www.visitax.gob.mx/sitio/
and you do not need to pay them as they are already paid on the plane ticket.
Not true. The airline has nothing to do with the tax.
@@evadien
Hers is the one and only fake site.
