But wait, before you embark on your tropical adventure, there’s one thing you need to know about – the Visitax. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with all the answers to your frequently asked questions about this new tourism tax. And we promise to keep it witty and friendly, just like your upcoming vacation!

First things first, who should pay the new tourism tax? Well, the Visitax is a mandatory tax collected by the state of Quintana Roo, and it applies to all foreign visitors who intend to enjoy the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean. So, whether you’re young or old, a beach enthusiast or an ancient ruins explorer, everyone needs to pay their fair share.

Now, you might be wondering how long it takes to pay and get the payment confirmation for the Visitax. Well, you’ll be happy to know that the process is a breeze. It will only take you around 5 minutes to complete. All you need is a valid passport, an email address, and either a credit card or a PayPal account. Once you’ve made the payment, you’ll receive the confirmation in just a few minutes to the email you provided. Easy peasy!

But do you really need a print copy of the Visitax? While the payment confirmation will be sent to your email, it’s always a good idea to have a printed copy among your travel documents too. You never know when you might need to show proof of payment, especially when boarding your flight back home or going through security. It’s better to be safe than sorry, right?

Now, let’s address the burning question of whether you can pay the Visitax upon arrival in Cancun. The answer is yes, you can pay either before traveling, upon arrival, or even before flying back home. If you choose to pay online, which we highly recommend, you can avoid long queues at the airport and minimize the risk of missing your flight. You can pay online with a credit card or PayPal, or if you prefer, in cash at the Cancun or Cozumel airport. The choice is yours!

Now, let’s switch gears and talk about Covid-19. Do you need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to visit Mexico? The answer is no. Mexican authorities do not require proof of vaccination from travelers. However, it’s important to note that different states in Mexico may have their own local restrictions. For example, the state of Quintana Roo has implemented limitations on movements, shorter business hours, and quotas for using public transportation. So, it’s always a good idea to stay informed about the specific guidelines in the area you plan to visit.

Speaking of Covid-19, do you need a PCR test to visit Mexico? The answer is no once again. No PCR test or any other Covid-19 related test is needed to enter Mexico. However, Mexico has implemented a national stoplight system with different levels of restrictions. As of now, Quintana Roo and Baja California are in the orange zone, while Oaxaca and Mexico City are in the green zone. Keep in mind that these zones may change, so it’s essential to stay updated on the latest information.

Here’s a list of common questions people have about Visitax, along with their witty and friendly answers:
