While many consulates across the globe accept credit card payments for visa application fees, Mission Mexico continues to require fees to be paid in cash at a bank in Mexico. Debit card payments are not accepted. The Department of State explained that this policy is a result of a high rate of credit card charge-backs in Mexico. As a result, applicants for visas, except for applicants for H-2 temporary worker visas and K-1 fiancé(e) visas, must pay in cash at one of the designated bank locations in Mexico.
