UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for Mexican Citizens
Travelling to the United Kingdom from Mexico has become simpler and faster with the UK eTA system. Designed for short-term visitors, it allows you to apply for UK eTA online and get approval before your trip — no embassy visits, no paper forms, just a quick digital process.
The UK eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) is a digital travel permit that allows eligible visitors, including Mexican citizens, to enter the United Kingdom for short stays such as tourism, visiting family or friends, business meetings, short-term studies, or airport transits. It is electronically linked to your passport and remains valid for multiple trips over two years or until your passport expires — whichever comes first — allowing each visit of up to 6 months.
Requirements for the UK eTA
Before applying, ensure you have:
- A valid Mexican passport (valid through your stay).
- A recent digital photo that meets UK requirements.
- A debit or credit card to make a payment.
- A valid email address is required to receive confirmation and updates.
Note: Any additional document or information requests will be communicated by our eTA experts via call or email.
How to Apply for the UK eTA – Three Easy Steps
Start the Application
Visit the UK eTA application website to access the application form. Fill out your personal information and passport details, upload all required documents and submit the form.
Pay the Fee
Proceed to pay the eTA fee using any of the payment methods displayed on the payment screen. Please ensure the payment method you select is open for international transactions.
Wait for Approval
Most applications are processed quickly — often within a few hours. You will receive a confirmation email once your eTA is approved. It is automatically linked to your passport, so no document printing is needed.
Processing Time & Urgent Options
The UK eTA is usually processed quickly, but travellers can choose from different processing speeds depending on how soon they need approval:
- Normal Processing: Typically completed within 1 - 2 Days.
- Rush Processing: A faster option; processing is completed within 6 - 12 Hours. An additional fee may be charged
- Super Rush Processing: The fastest option, ideal for urgent trips, with approval possible in 1 Hour. Applicants may be required to pay an extra charge.
