Is iVisa the official Mexico FMM site?
No. iVisa is a commercial middleman. The official FMM-E is at inm.gob.mx and is free.
Short answer
No.
iVisa is a commercial visa and travel document service. It is not affiliated with Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM). iVisa charges a fee to file the FMM-E on your behalf. The FMM-E itself is free.
The official site is:
Longer answer
iVisa is a legal business in the countries where it operates. It is not illegal to pay iVisa for FMM submission help. It just costs more, sometimes a lot more, than the $0 the INM charges.
If you paid iVisa for an FMM-E submission, one of three things happened:
- iVisa filed the real FMM-E on your behalf and kept the fee. Your entry document is valid. You overpaid.
- iVisa filed a tourist card variant or different form and sent you a generic confirmation. You may still need the FMM-E at the border.
- iVisa filed nothing yet and is waiting on information from you, or their system failed silently.
Check your email for a PDF with a reference number from a inm.gob.mx address or a document titled “Forma Migratoria Múltiple Electrónica.” If you have it, the real form was filed. If not, file it yourself at the INM site.
Other sites people ask about
Is mexico-fmm.com the official site?
No.
.com is an open top-level domain. Anyone can register it. The Mexican government operates under .gob.mx, a restricted suffix for government entities.
mexico-fmm.com is a reseller that charges roughly $25 USD to file the free form. It uses INM-style branding and colors without authorization. It typically does file a real FMM-E with your data, so you usually arrive with a valid reference number. You just paid $25 for 10 minutes of typing.

Is fmm-mexico.org the official site?
No. .org is open, and the Mexican government does not use .org domains for immigration services.
fmm-mexico.org charges roughly $39 USD. It is a reseller, not an INM service.
First observed: February 2025.
Is official-fmm.net the official site?
No. The word “official” in a domain name means nothing. .net is open.
This site charges roughly $49 USD. It is among the more aggressive impersonators, using a URL structure and color scheme designed to look like an INM subdomain at a glance. It is not.
First observed: September 2025.
Is ivisa.com/mexico the official site?
No, same as the short answer above. iVisa is a legal commercial middleman, not an INM service.

How to tell any FMM site is not the real one
- Does the domain end in
.gob.mx? If no, it is not a Mexican government site. Period. - Does it ask for payment? The FMM-E at the INM site is free.
- Does the URL contain extra words like “apply”, “official”, “Mexico” but not
.gob.mx? Those words are bait. - Does it ask you to upload a passport photo? The INM form does not.
- Does the page have testimonials, trust badges, or a countdown timer? Government forms do not.
What to do if you’ve already paid
Dispute the charge with your credit card issuer.
- US cardholders: Chase, Amex, Capital One, and most other issuers recognize “service not rendered” or “misleading merchant” disputes for this category.
- Include a screenshot of the INM site showing the FMM-E is free.
- File within 60 days of the charge for best results.
If the middleman did actually file a real FMM-E for you (cases 1 or 2 in the short answer), your entry document is still valid. You are disputing the fee, not the submission.
If no real FMM-E was filed (case 3), file one yourself at inm.gob.mx/fmme/ before you travel.
