British Citizen/UK resident flying to Mexico on a Mauritian passport. Do I require a visa?

I am wondering if anyone can shed light on travelling to Mexico on a foreign passport (Mauritian in this case) as a British citizen. I have read that as a UK resident I can.

My UK passport is at another embassy awaiting another visa and won't arrive in time before travelling.

I have checked everywhere...embassies are closed. Flight is tomorrow 10am!

Best Answer

To get visa-free access to Mexico as a resident of the UK, a citizen of a country whose nationals normally require visas must show a UK residence permit. As a British citizen, you do not have a UK residence permit. Therefore, this visa exemption will not be useful to you.
