wow. confusing. Q: And what happens if you don't pay and you are asked to show your QR code at BCS border? Seems payment is only accepted online
- you purchase it on the spot with your phone? As you're leaving the country at the airport?
And not specified if good for multiple entries. Per trip (2, 3 times per year?) could get expensive.
AI inquiry: The "Embrace It Tax" in Baja California Sur is a separate fee and is not included in the FMM fee.
Here's a breakdown:
FMM (Forma Migratoria Multiple): This is the Mexican tourist permit/card required for entry, particularly when crossing by land. It has an associated
fee, which is often included in airfares, but needs to be paid separately if entering by land for stays longer than 7 days.
Embrace It Tax: This is a separate mandatory tourism tax implemented by the state of Baja California Sur. It is specifically for foreign visitors
staying in the region for more than 24 hours.
Purpose: The Embrace It tax aims to fund sustainable tourism initiatives, environmental conservation, and community development within Baja California
Sur.
Payment: The Embrace It tax must be paid online via the Travelkore platform before arriving in Baja California Sur, and proof of payment (a QR code)
must be presented upon entry.
