A tax to be paid without difficulty
There are several opportunities for you to pay your tourist tax. Tourists are allowed to pay visitax before their trip, either at the airport or on their way home. When you are ready to pay this tax, you will first need to fill in the online form which will ask everything about your identity. Then you pay (by credit card or PayPal account) on a secure page, before finally receiving your payment. After about ten minutes you will receive a confirmation of payment and the QR code on your e-mail address.
A tax valid for a 6-month stay
Once you have taken the necessary steps and obtained visitax, it is valid for your entire stay in Quitana-Roo. For your 180 days, visitax is available to serve you in your visits and travel. However, if you wish to exceed the time required for your stay, you will have to renew this tax which is essential for all tourists.
Finally, it is important to note that visitax is compulsory for those who travel only for tourism purposes. And, it is more beneficial for all tourists visiting Quitana Roo to pay their visitaxe in advance. This will allow them to avoid queuing at the airport and carelessly missing the flight.
