I’m back in Cancun and just wanted to make a quick note about the new airport immigration rules here…no electronic machines yet which take your fingerprint, instead, you wait in the immigration line as usual but without any paperwork in hand which you used to fill out on the plane or from downloaded immigration forms prior to your trip.  Be aware that there are multiple QR code signs in the immigration line saying it is necessary to scan it in order to bring up an immigration form, but just ignore them because this is only for RESIDENTS.

So, don’t expect immigration forms to be handed out on the plane anymore, don’t look for those forms in the airport, and don’t scan the QR code signs in the immigration line.  The immigration staff will ask you how long you are going to be staying in the area and that’s about it.  They will scan your passport and take care of the rest.

Easy!
