If you are planning a trip to Cancun and Tulum Airports, one essential step for your travel checklist is paying the VISITAX, a tourist tax introduced by the government of Quintana Roo (Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, etc) in 2021.

To know why you must pay this fee – you should know that this tax is mandatory by law for all foreign visitors of any age – who do not have a Mexican passport. Paying this fee is important because it helps fund the region’s tourism infrastructure and environmental conservation efforts..

 

Is VISITAX same than DNR Mexico and FMM Mexico?

No, the VISITAX fee must be paid separately, while FMM now called DNR is usually included with your airline ticket.

Therefore it’s important to note that VISITAX is separate from DNR Mexico which is the Mexican Federal tourist visa while VISITAX is a local fee of the state of Quintana Roo where Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and all cities in the Riviera Maya are located.
