Yup, it is still a thing. After the holidays the QR gov't is supposed to disclose the penalties if you don't pay the Visitax. You're responsible for paying this on your own. It's been mentioned that if you don't pay it, the next time you come back to QR there will be penalties ($$$) for previous non-payment. I guess when you do pay you have to enter your passport #. Not sure how all that links up together.

There are no kiosks at the airport to pay. You're supposed to pay it online at the gov't site or w/ Travelkore (a Canadian company that the Quintana Roo gov't contracted to also collect the Visitax online).

This won't (can't ?) be included w/ your plane tickets as it's not a federal tax, only the state of QR. We just flew out of CUN T3 on 12/28/23. There were a few signs about paying it but no one asks you about it (yet, at least).

This has to be the most poorly planned/implemented tourist tax ever !! As such, we have not yet paid it (& we're in & out of CUN 2 or 3 times a year). We'll be back again in April (using the new TQO airport) so we'll see how the process is working then.
