SunshineyDay 144 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Are the costs shown only the IMN fees? Are they allowing renewal for more than one year this time? Link to post Share on other sites

tomgates 798 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 It has been a number of years since we have entered Mexico on a tourist visa but I don't recall having to pay anything then. Has something changed? Link to post Share on other sites
bournemouth 588 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Something changed quite a number of years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
snowyco 231 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 It has been a number of years since we have entered Mexico on a tourist visa but I don't recall having to pay anything then. Has something changed? If you flew into Mexico in the past, your tourist card fees were included in the airline ticket cost, so you may not have noticed them. They have been $20 - $24 for years.

RVGRINGO 2,099 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 We paid the tourist fee of $20 back in the last century. Link to post Share on other sites
Intercasa 1,078 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just ran into people at the bank making the wrong payment amount so alerted them as well as bank employees to the changes at Bancomer. Link to post Share on other sites
tomgates 798 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Regarding the tourist fee, I just called Alaska Air and asked if one of the fees was the tourist visa fee and they said there is no such item on my airfare. And I do not recall having to pay anything on arrival to Mexico prior to 2008 on our many trips to Mexico from the US. When you think about it, not many tourists arrive in Mexico with a bunch of pesos to pay such a fee. Link to post Share on other sites
RVGRINGO 2,099 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think they just bury it in the ticket price. Link to post Share on other sites
mudgirl 2,747 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 The person you talked to at Alaska Airlines doesn't know what they are talking about. Part of your airline ticket to Mexico is "Mexican tourism tax" and can be clearly seen on the websites' ticket breakdown. Link to post Share on other sites
Intercasa 1,078 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 The tourist card fee is included in the taxes and fees as code UK from one way and round trip flights originating outside Mexico. If you buy a ticket in the US, upon request, Alaska will refund you the tax if you show them your temporal or permanente card and fill out a form. Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing because I had to pay a fee in my ticket price every time I flew into Mexico beginning back in the 70s. You are paying the fee. Everybody pays the fee. Link to post Share on other sites
tomgates 798 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I stand corrected, despite what AK told me on the phone. On their website, I priced a flight and there was a link by the fare price for fees and there it was, about $22 at current exchange rates. I says that if someone is exempt from the tourist visa fee, provide documentation at check-in and they will credit you back this fee. Learn something new every day! Link to post Share on other sites
Wookie 550 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know an estimated price of a facilitator for going permanent from temporary? Link to post Share on other sites
