I would like to know if anybody can advise me how to proceed with this matter. My wife is from the Philippines, and in the future we would like to visit Mexico.
As far as I know I don't need visa as long as we stay less than 21 days. My wife has the EEA2/Family permit. But I don't know if this has any kind of validity/use outside Europe or she need to get a visa to visit Mexico. We both live in UK but I'm from Spain.
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.
