Arrival cards and declarations: FMM (Forma Migratoria Múltiple) — land arrivals only

INM says that at international airports you do not have to present, fill in or carry an FMM: it is generated at entry, and your entry stamp carries the necessary information. If you enter by land, you must present a completed FMM at the immigration check. Canada's travel advice says air arrivals need to complete the digital FMM (FMMD) online upon arrival and keep a copy.
