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\/lt\/uk-eta-dual-citizens-which-passport\/\">kur\u012f pas\u0105 naudoti, jei turite du<\/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\/lt\/uk-eta-transit-rules-2026\/\">UK ETA tranzito taisykles<\/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\/lt\/uk-eta-fee-2026-guide\/\">\u00a320 UK ETA mokestis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/lt\/uk-eta-cost-breakdown-2026-guide\/\">i\u0161sam\u0173 i\u0161laidu suskaidym\u0105<\/a> ir <a href=\"https:\/\/etavisauk.org\/lt\/uk-eta-payment-methods-2026-guide\/\">priimti mok\u0117jimo b\u016bdai<\/a>.

The gate scans your chip, matches your face, and confirms the ETA in seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Carry proof of your return flight and where you are staying. Officers seldom press Mexican visitors for more, but a brief question about the purpose of your visit is normal, especially on a first trip. Before you fly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gov.uk travel advice for Mexico<\/a> is worth a quick read.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Patarimas:<\/strong> Book your ETA before your flights.

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>Kaina yra \u00a320 u\u017e vien\u0105 asmen\u012f ir galioja dvejus metus.

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>Apie autori\u0173<\/strong><br \/>Para\u0161\u0117 <strong>Oliver Stanmore<\/strong>, kelion\u0117s dokumentacijos redaktorius.
