Thats correct, you pay once leaving the country not entering. Has for the States i think its slightly different.

Just got my tickets, you can pay dollars or Mexican pesos, no brainer for me mexican pesos which works out cheaper with the exchange rate

We paid exit tax in Sterling coming home this year and got change in pound coins, something that we didn't expect, as we had been told that we would not get change!

Hi,

I was in Mexico last September and we had to pay approx $50 each when leaving the country at the airport - I,m sure I read somewhere that you now have to pay upon entering Mexico as well - can anyone confirm this for me as we are going back this September? Thanks!

is this value per person?

Yes, although you can only pay in pesos or sterling, not US dollars and it has to be cash, so set it aside at the begining of your holiday as there are no cash machines at cancun airport.

I think I paid 640 pesos, I took mainly pesos and just a little $US as a back up.

We paid 660 Pesos last week, though they'll also take £38. US Dollars are not accepted from UK travelers.
Cost is per person and children pay the same, so it's a fair bit of a cash for a family of four.

We had conflicting info on airport cash machines, one rep thought there were three, while another reckoned there's only one which regularly runs out, so as juby5 says, best to get it before hand.

To be honest I took 660 with me for the exit tax, because they is what I thought it was but I am sure I only paid 640. It was all a bit chaotic.
