⚠️ Important 2026 update — Mexico: paper FMM phased out, 180 days no longer guaranteed
The paper FMM is being phased out at major airports (CUN, MEX). Officers now stamp the passport with a manually-written number of days — the 180-day maximum is no longer automatic. A digital FMM (FMMd) is downloadable after arrival. The paper FMM is still required at land borders. The 2026 fee is MXN 983 (~USD 54).
Effective: Generalised 2024-2025 (paper FMM phase-out)
