The National Immigration Institute is now accepting credit card payments for all immigration applications filed in Mexico City. Only Visa and Mastercard are currently accepted. Previously, applicants who were not able to pay the government fees before their filing appointment did not have the option to pay on-site by credit card. Applicants who do not pay fees in advance or on-site by credit card must obtain a “payment code” upon submitting their application; go to the bank in person to pay the fees; and return to the INM office with the payment receipt to finalize their application. The credit card pilot program is part of the INM’s digitalization efforts and is expected to expedite the application submission process for many foreign nationals. The INM is likely to expand the program to other branches in the coming months.
