Mexican visa with Philippine passport + UK Residence card + married to Spanish citizen

1/6/2016 4:15:21 PM

According to the visa rules for Mexico that I got off IATA, the rules say (for Philippines passport holders):

Visa required, except for a stay of max. 180 days:

  • for alien residents of United Kingdom holding a permanent residence permit.
  • for holders of a valid visa for the USA.

CIBT elaborates that no visa is required for people who:

Hold permanent residency for one of the Schengen member states,
Canada, Japan, UK or a valid visa for USA

UKBA defines permanent residency as ‘indefinite leave to remain’. From the fact that you mention in your comment that your wife has the right to remain for four years, it appears she is on her ‘qualifying / probationary period’.

It would thus appear that your wife does not yet have a permanent resident permit in the UK and needs to apply for Mexican tourist visa to go there.
