What Does the Tourist Card Fee Cover?

  • FMM Cost: The official cost charged by Mexican authorities. This covers the administrative process for issuing the Tourist Card.
  • Service Fee: The professional fee for reviewing your application, correcting errors, and safely guiding it through the system. Consider this the set of expert hands ensuring no detail is overlooked.
  • Expedited Processing Fee: An optional add-on for those who need their Tourist Card urgently. Like the express lane at an airport, it moves your application to the front of the line.

Refunds and Cancellations

FMM Cost: Always non-refundable. Once paid, it cannot be reversed, even if your Tourist Card is rejected.

Service Fee: Refund depends on processing status. Once processing begins, the service fee is non-refundable.

Rush/Super Rush Add-Ons: Non-refundable, as expedited handling begins immediately after payment.

Accepted Payment Methods

  • Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)
  • PayPal (available in supported regions)
  • Additional gateways where available.

Step-by-Step Payment Guide

Complete the  Tourist Card application form with accurate details.

Review the fee summary, which shows the service and optional rush fees.

Choose your preferred payment method and confirm the transaction.

Save your receipt as proof of payment for future reference.

Tip: Double-check that your card is enabled for international transactions. Most payment failures result from blocked overseas charges.

Important Reminders Before You Apply

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.

Each traveller, including minors, requires their own Tourist Card.

Carry both a printed copy and a digital copy of your Tourist Card when travelling.

The Tourist Card is not a visa. If your nationality requires a visa, you must apply for it separately.

Why Delays Can Happen

Even with clear timelines, processing may sometimes take longer. Common causes include:

Missing or inaccurate details on the application.
Extra background checks are requested for certain travellers.
Seasonal surges in applications during holidays or peak tourism months.
Administrative changes in Tourist Card policies.
