Cancun, Q.R. — More e-gates at the Cancun International Airport will reduce tourist wait times to enter the country. While tourist wait times at the airport have been reduced with the addition of agents, additional e-Gates will further improve the system.
Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama says Terminals 2, 3 and 4 at the Cancun airport will be complimented with the additional technology for the upcoming busy tourist season. She made the announcement Tuesday after a Mexico City meeting with Sergio Salomón Céspedes Peregrina, Comisionado del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM).
According to Governor Lezama, the number of Autonomous Migration Filters (e-Gates) will be increased at the three air terminals to expedite the flow of visitors and further improve immigration services.
She explained that since tourism is one of the driving forces of Quintana Roo’s economy, it is necessary to continually provide better services to tourists, including immigration, hospitality, gastronomy and security.
The Governor noted that with the support of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, through the National Migration Institute, wait times for tourists at Cancun International Airport have already been reduced by up to 20 minutes with the arrival of more agents and infrastructure.
Lezama said during her meeting with Sergio Salomón Céspedes, Commissioner of the National Migration Institute, they discussed increasing the number of Autonomous Migration Filters (e-Gates) at the three airport terminals as well as streamlining the inadmissibility process.
They also talked about facilitating immigration procedures for Belizean visitors at the southern border for entry into Mexico.
