IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of May 11, 2009, fees for all Consular Services will be charged at an exchange rate of 14.5 Mexican pesos to 1 U.S. dollar, down from the previous exchange rate of 17 Mexican Pesos to 1 U.S. dollar. Each applicant for a visitor visa must pay a non-refundable application fee paid in PESOS of $131 US.  The fee can be paid at any BANAMEX branch prior to the appointment. You will be asked to present the receipt during the processing and at the interview window. All Mexican citizens under age 15, who are applying for a B-1/B-2 Border Crossing Card (BBBCC), if a parent or legal guardian has or is applying for a BBBCC or has a Machine Readable multiple-entry B-1/B-2 visa, may pay the peso equivalent of $13.00 US to apply for a laser visa that expires in ten years or on the child’s 15th birthday, whichever comes first. If the full fee is paid ($131 US), the child may apply for a visa valid for ten years. For more information on visa fees please go to the Department of State web site. Please be sure to consult the Visa Reciprocity tables to find out if you must pay a visa issuance reciprocity fee. Reciprocity fees must be paid at the Visa Section on the day of your interview. These fees apply to various categories of visas and differ by nationality and the number of years the visa is valid for. They may be paid in dollars or pesos.  Credit cards are not accepted.
