brercottage385 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 A friend visitng lakeside is leaving by air on Friday and has lost (thrown away) her exit portion of her visa. I would like to hear from anyone who has experience - can this be fixed (a a fee of course) at the airport? How long will it take +/-? Thanks in advance.

Wookie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Call Spencer. My advice would be not to wait for the airport. I did the same thing years ago and wound up missing my flight. If you don't want to contact Spencer then go to the airport today or tomorrow and fill out the paperwork. There's no telling how long it will take.

Mainecoons Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 My brother did this a couple years ago. He went early for his flight, went to immigration, showed them his passport and when he arrived and they gave him a new one charging the same fee again. Took 15 minutes. If you are really wanting to be sure of sorting this out go before your departure day and get the new one. They will take care of this at the airport.

REC Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 A friend of ours did the same thing on a visit. Easily taken care of the airport and in her case on the day of her flight. She just went to the immigration window with her passport and was issued a new document. I think the fee was just a bit over $300 pesos but could have gone up. And of course be prepared to pay in cash in pesos. As Maincoons says you could go to the airport before your departure date but it seem practical to arrive early before your flight and do it on the same day. Go to the immigration window before going to the airline counter for check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brercottage385 Posted May 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 All sorted - thanks for the replies! Went to the airport and they issued a replacement but then realised the flight was not until Friday - so told us to repeat the process on Friday as the document is only valud on the day it is date stamped.

Xena Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 How much do they charge for the replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 My friend left her visitor visa in the nightstand and didn't realize it til she got to the ticket desk. She checked her bag, and they gave her a ticket to take to the immigration window. They charged her $500 pesos and stamped the ticket or some form (I don't recall.) She went back to the ticket desk (they motioned her to the front of the line) she gave it to them, they issued her a boarding pass and she was on her way.

ComputerGuy Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 At some airports, you must not only go to the Immigration window, but then also to an onsite bank to pay, then back to Immigration, then back to the ticket counter. Different airports/INM offices charge different rates, in my opinion depending on their mood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonia Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 500 pesos same as a FMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 19 hours ago, Sonia said: 500 pesos same as a FMM Also the same as a speeding ticket and turning without the flecha. But, at least they will let you pay on the spot and save you the trip to pay the ticket. Very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
