There are 2 official methods of payment for the Single Entry and Multiple Entry permits. The first is with a VISA or MasterCard at the DGAC office. All DGAC offices have credit card terminals for processing credit cards. However, sometimes DGAC staff are not trained on how to use them or there other reasons that they cannot be used.

We are surprised that they allowed you to continue on because the law says that your Entry Permit is ONLY valid when accompanied by the official receipt of payment. Technically, you had an invalid permit for your flight from Torreon to Zacatecas and Zacatecas to Oaxaca. At the same time, thank goodness the DGAC was willing to work with you to keep you from being stranded in Torreon. (By the way, we DO NOT recommend Torreon as an airport of landing for any flight unless it is your destination - see post in this section).

Technically, the procedure is incorrect but practically, it resolved your problem. It appears that there were good intentions all the way around to help you get to your destination on time and still be able to make the payment.
