No More Paper FMMs ?

[ccannon707]

As of August 19, Cancun will eliminate the use of paper FMMs. Anybody arriving recently experience this?

From the article:
...Rather than fill out a paper Formato Migratorio Múltiple (FMM), most tourists will simply have their passports stamped for a 180-day stay. Now, instead of the FMM, they (INM - immigration) are just going to stamp them,” - normal tourists who come on vacation will not have to fill out the FMM, neither printed nor electronic, and everyone will be granted a permit to stay for 180 days.

Now we get to sit back and watch to see how it actually works in practice. Given the number of complaints among long-term and seasonal visitors about being arbitrarily given just 10 - 30 days at times, this might make Cancun the preferred port of entry.

Got the paper version earlier this month as usual. EDIT: In Cozumel.

Since I (almost) always fly in and out via Cancun - due to $$ and availability - this is interesting to me. However, I think I'll fill out my forms online, print out and bring them with me just in case. Will report back.
Here's the link to the online immigration form:

I arrived on Cozumel Tuesday with form ready. He tore his half but stacked it. I got my half. They could cut their paperwork.

It appears that Cancun has officially done away with the FMM for arriving USA citizens but as of Sunday Cozumel was still requiring a paper form.
