The destination has ended the need for arriving travelers to fill out customs forms and given Americans a fast-track entry process, according to government officials.
Travelers who didn't complete the Forma Multipla Migratoria paperwork online were forced to complete it in person, causing delays at airport security and immigration checkpoint.
The executive president of the Mexican Association of Travel Agencies said that eliminating the paperwork would cut the process in half.
The new system would be offered in other airports in Mexico.
Travelers from the US and other approved countries will now be issued a stamp instead of a card. Travelers leaving Mexico would have to present the card at the airport with a $25 fee if they lose it.
Travelers will be given a residence permit for 180 days. As staff shortages continue to impact the industry, the government is trying to simplify the entry process for tourists.
According to the Mexico's Ministry of Tourism, the country hosted more than 22 million international visitors in the first five months of the year, representing an increase of 24.9%.
The Travel Advisory for Mexico was upgraded last week by the US Department of State due to improved security.
