Valeria said in her initial email that the hotel has recently been sanction for this. Also, an earlier poster said that the government is just starting to crack down on this.
I don't know - Im of 2 minds on it. It's very possible that it is now just becoming an issue. or like Jason said, EDR is lumping this into 1 big issue and hoping it pushes some of us who weren't going to pay this fee, to pay it.

As promised, here is the response from Valeria at the resort

 

"Since I have already mentioned that there will be no fee for this

photographer, I will honour this for you.

 

If your photographer is not a Mexican Citizen, and she's receiving some sort

of retribution (monetary, or paid trips, etc) for her services, she must

have a Mexican Government permission to work in this Country.

 

This is important, since the Hotel has been been sanctioned, for having

outsider suppliers (Foreigners, not Mexican Citizens) working without their

paperwork properly arranged for being hired and work in Mexico and not

paying taxes. "

 

this is me: smile105.gif I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall!!

Again, no information about what rype of documentation EDR will require!!

and I have yet to find any type of 'visa' that suits this situation.

 

I received this response from the Mexican Consulate:

 

"If your friends are not professionals and do not take with them professional equipment, they can entry as a tourist. One regular camara is allow for any tourist"

 

of course they is no expansion beyond the exact direct answer to a question!

I have not read this whole thread, but I do want to say that when we brought our photographer to our wedding she was a guest at the resort who just happened to bring along her cameras (her hobby) and was kind enough to take some pictures at our wedding.

 

Can you not go that route? Say you decided against bringing a pro and are just having friends who are guests take your pictures?

but thats what they allow per the customs form. no way should any photographer be going to shoot a wedding anywhere with only one camera. of course you can always have your couple take one in the country for you.

I can't imagine they wouldn't allow people to bring two camera's that doesn't make any sense. Now if you had a whole camera set up plus like 5 cameras that would scream pro photog.

Yes that is what SheaS's photog said too - the form said she was allowed to bring in 2 cameras. she had 4 - and just had to pay a tax to allow them in. Her other option was to store them at teh airport and she said no way (of course!) so she just paid!

However - the Consulate did say specifically in his email that one 1 regular camera was allowed!!

    • 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!
