SAT recommends completing the declaration within 72 hours (3 days) before your trip, though the online calendar allows dates up to 14 days in advance. Once generated, the QR code remains valid for 30 days in case of flight delays.
A Head of Family (18 years or older) can include only their accompanying spouse (18+) and minor children (under 18). Any other family members aged 18 or older (such as adult children, parents, or siblings) must submit their own separate declaration.
A Blue QR code ('No declaró') is issued when you answer 'No' to all customs and currency questions in Step 5. A Red QR code ('Declaró') is issued when you declare cash/instruments over USD 10,000 or restricted/commercial merchandise.
Yes. Citizens of El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua may select 'Documento de Identificación' (DUI/DNI/Cédula) instead of a passport, and Guatemalan citizens may use their CUI/DPI or NIT.
