Documentation

American and Canadian visitors can enter Mexico with a valid passport or with a birth certificate accompanied by photo ID. Travelers from other countries may need a visa. Minors traveling alone or with one parent need notarized consent from the other parent. In addition, visitors must carry a Mexican Tourist Permit, which is issued free of charge upon arrival. Tourist Permits issued in Quintana Roo are good for only 30 days and if you plan to stay longer you will have to visit the Immigration Office to apply for an extension (about $15 per person). If you lose your Tourist Permit while in Cancun, you can obtain a copy or permission to leave the country from the Immigration office located downtown. Departure Tax is approximately US $17 (before you leave home check with your travel agent or airline to see if the departure tax has been included in your ticket price). Children under two are exempt. For more information on the tourist card or other visa requirements such as residency for longer than 180 days or work permissions follow the appropriate link below.
