New Mexican Foreign Worker's Policy??? what?


Recommended Posts

I am not sure, but I think this is a fee the photographer would have to pay, not you. I remember my photographer had to claim her equipment in customs, and since she told them she was entering the country to work, they taxed her (since she was making money in their country). I think it was something like that. She porbably didn't have to admit to it, but she wanted to cover herself just incase.

Valeria has sent me several emails on this--- evidently the resort has been sanctioned for not going by the regulations in the past......

 

Hi Shannon,

 

Perfect, please remember they should present to the On site wedding coordinator the legal paperwork, provided by the Mexican Government in order to provide this services, is called in Spanish (RFC)

 

This is important since the Hotel has been sanctioned for not paying taxes for this outsider providers services.

 

thanks.-

 

If any doubt arises, please, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be more than happy to assist you.

 

 

 

Sincerely Yours,

Do you know what exactly the legal paperwork that they have to present is?

Ok - so Claudia is based in Mexico, I believe, but I received this email from Monica today:

 

"Also, Claudia will have to show a copy of her "RFC" upon arrival to the hotel (this are their working documents in order to declare taxes); I apologize for the inconveniences this may cause you, unfortunately this are new Hotel & Mexican Government policies, the hotel has been sanctioned for permitting professional foreigner photographers working at the Hotel, with no working permission from the Government, and for this reason they are asking these requirements."

So not only do we have to pay $500, + day passes for the photographer and each assistant, + costs for any private meals, the photographers ALSO need to pay the resort? This is absolutely ridiculous. If I had to start this process all over again, I think I should have picked Dreams or another resort.....we'll see after I get back, but right now, I'm still pretty upset with the resort.

If this is government related, wouldn't this apply to all resorts in Mexico?

This makes me think it is just a way for the resort to scare you into paying their fees. I honestly think I would gone on if I hadn't received this email from her.

I'm sorry you have to go thru this. Why would the photogs have to pay the rest? I am sorry if I missed it. I would tell EDR that you are not paying any of these additional fees. You are already paying the $500, what is that for anyway?

I think this is a good point to make. EDR is a beautiful hotel, but if they are not treating photographers & brides right, people should consider other options. I wouldn't care if I had to use the same flowers/ cake/ DJ as everyone else. But, photography is not one-size-fits all. People should have the choice to pick someone that matches their style & personality. Restricting you to just their hotel photographer is too limiting. I feel like brides should stand up to EDR & tell them they will just book elsewhere. When anyone picks a hotel other than EDR because of this reason, they should let them know.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
