I'm British and my girlfriend is Taiwanese. We are currently in the US and have ESTAs (we applied through the US website).

I know what I need to do, but can my girlfriend (Taiwan passport) enter Mexico with the US ESTA?

She needs a visa. With a US visa she would not have done but VWP is not a visa.

While we cannot process your travel visa request, travelers should take note of the following advice:

• Check the current validity of your passport

For international travel, all travelers will need a passport, valid for at least 90 days following your departure date. However, we strongly recommend traveling with six months validity on your passport at all times.

It is also recommended that your valid passport have at least two un-used pages remaining, for any necessary entry and exit stamps that may be issued. It is also a good idea to review the number of pages and validity remaining your passport well in advance of overseas travel. This will allow for time needed if a replacement passport may be required.
