Mexico introduced the ETA (Electronic Authorization System), for travelers from certain countries.
If you are from Brazil, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine, then you can apply for the Mexico ETA, and stay in the country for a period of up to 180 days without getting a visa from the Mexican embassy. The process of application is very simple. All you need to do is fill out an application form and make the payment.
As stated before, obtaining a Mexico ETA is simple and easy. Since the entire process is carried out online, it is less time-consuming.
Also, you do not need to visit an Embassy to get this travel document.Here are the 3 steps that you must follow:
1. Fill Application Form: Visit the Natvisa online form.
In the form, you will be prompted to provide the following details:
2. Make Payment: Then, you need to pay for the ETA visa processing fee. Once the ETA fee has been paid, you will receive confirmation the application has been received
3. Receive ETA: Once the application has been processed, you will receive an email with the ETA document attached as a PDF file. The document will also be stored in your Natvisa dashboard that was created for you during the checkout process.
