This will be referring to the Mexican Tourist Card that is required to enter/leave the country - it costs $295.00 pesos (approx £12)

Departure tax of approx. 900 Mexican Pesos – approx. £45, $65 or €48 – payable locally in cash only. Scottish and Irish pounds, travellers' cheques, credit and debit cards are not accepted. This is controlled locally, and may be changed without notice.
