Just Received Email from AA for MX travel Requirements

Have trip leaving next Friday. In this email AA gave links for immigration and customs forms. Thought this was nice of them. I expect they no longer will be handing out any form on flights.

This is on the Cancun Airport Official Website. There are some fake Airport sites.

Official Cancun Airport Tourist Card Information for passengers

All passengers arriving on International flights MUST fill out a Mexican Tourist Card. Applications are FREE and available online. Some airlines are no longer providing the forms, thus it is recommended to fill out the Tourist Card Online

www.cancunairport.com

This is the form to fill out

I flew into Cancun on American on April 8. They handed out the forms on the flight. They also have stacks of them in the arrival hall at the airport. It only takes a couple of minutes to fill out. Do bring a pen.

There was no delay from using the hand-filled form.

Flying out Sunday will see (already printed immigration & customs). If they stop handing them out it will be because Mexico stopped supplying them. The Airlines get them from the destination country. For an extended period during the pandemic Mexico failed to re-supply, intially AA operated off inventory and then ran out, I was surprised last fall when Mexico resupplied them. USA & Canada dropped the forms years ago and went to Kiosks. I doubt Mexico investing in the infrastructure of electronic Kiosks but I can see them attempting to shift to primarily having visitors do it on line and if not handing them out on arrival and diverting the hold outs to the 'slow' line. Wouldn't work in Cozumel but it would in Cancun.
Went to Columbia last month and they require you to do the immigration form (CheckMig) online and print it for entry and a separate one for exit. Exit cost me 15 minutes while they manually filled it out in the computer

You can also use the MX Gov sites. Don't let Chrome translate or you will have issues inputting the date:

I downloaded forms for immigration and customs. I immigration form worked but the customs one didn’t.

Today AA had both immigration and customs forms that were handed out at boarding, no guarantee about tomorrow.

What do you mean by the customs form didn't work? You couldn't fill it out online or the agents wouldn't accept it. I've used the online customs form for the past 5 or 6 trips.

My guess was that he tried over 72 hours before his expected arrival. I find it easier to print a blank one to bring with me and fill it out on the plane even if the plane does not have them.

Suggest you check the customs form -- or inform me! -- as it says on the website that you cannot print/use the one online. They distribute only the immigration form on American, but getting the custom form while in line gives you something to do while you wait ... and wait ... and wait. ;-)
