A UK ETA for Mexican citizens is compulsory for short trips, because Mexico is a non-visa country whose passport holders enter Britain without a full visa.<\/strong> Before the scheme launched, Mexicans arrived and were checked at the desk. That check now happens online, in advance, and stays linked to your passport chip.<\/p>\n<p>The ETA covers holidays, visiting family, and short business meetings for up to six months. It does not cover paid work or long courses \u2014 those need a proper visa. Hold two passports? Read <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/ca\/uk-eta-dual-citizens-which-passport\/\">quin passaport utilitzar si en teniu dos<\/a> before you apply.<\/p>\n<p>Transit matters too. A Mexican traveller connecting through Heathrow to a third country usually still needs an ETA if they pass through UK border control, so check <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/ca\/uk-eta-transit-rules-2026\/\">Normes de tr\u00e0nsit ETA del Regne Unit<\/a> before booking a layover. Getting this wrong at the last minute is one of the most common reasons flights are missed.<\/p>\n<h2>How much does a UK ETA cost for Mexican travellers?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The UK ETA costs \u00a320 for each Mexican traveller, a single charge covering two years of trips \u2014 roughly MXN 460 at mid-2026 rates.<\/strong> The price went up from \u00a316 to \u00a320 on 8 April 2026, so ignore older figures. There is no family discount: two parents and two children pay \u00a380 in total.<\/p>\n<p>For the full detail, see <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/ca\/uk-eta-fee-2026-guide\/\">la taxa UK ETA de \u00a320<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/ca\/uk-eta-cost-breakdown-2026-guide\/\">un desglossament complet dels costos<\/a> i <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/ca\/uk-eta-payment-methods-2026-guide\/\">m\u00e8todes de pagament acceptats<\/a>.

A UK ETA for Mexican citizens is required before boarding for stays of up to six months. It swaps the old border wave-through for an online permission linked to your passport.<\/p>\n<h3>How much is the UK ETA for Mexican passport holders?<\/h3>\n<p>Costa \u00a320 per persona i t\u00e9 una validesa de dos anys. La tarifa va augmentar de \u00a316 el 8 d'abril de 2026, i no hi ha cap tarifa familiar amb descompte (gov.uk\/eta).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/eta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gov.uk\/eta<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>Can Mexicans work in the UK with an ETA?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The ETA covers tourism, family visits and short business trips. Paid work or study over six months needs the correct visa, which the gov.uk visa checker will confirm.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the UK ETA take for Mexican applicants?<\/h3>\n<p>Most Mexican applicants are approved within minutes. The Home Office advises allowing up to three working days in case your case needs manual checks.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Mexican children need their own ETA?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Every child, babies included, needs an individual ETA. Parents apply on each child&#8217;s behalf using the child&#8217;s biometric passport.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the UK ETA a visa for Mexican citizens?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The ETA is a lighter travel authorisation for short visits, not a visa. Mexicans use it because their passport already allows visa-free entry for up to six months.<\/p>\n<h3>What if a Mexican traveller reaches the airport without an ETA?<\/h3>\n<p>Airlines can refuse boarding under the &#8220;no permission, no travel&#8221; rule. Always apply before leaving home rather than trying to sort it at the gate.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"author-box\">\n<p><strong>Sobre l'autor<\/strong><br \/>Escrit per <strong>Oliver Stanmore<\/strong>, Editor de Documentaci\u00f3 de Viatges.
