By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa, except British and Irish citizens, will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) – a digital permission to travel to the UK.

ETA is extending in two phases:

• Eligible non-Europeans can apply in advance from 27 November 2024 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 8 January 2025.
• Eligible Europeans can apply from 5 March 2025 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 2 April 2025.

Visitors can find out when they will need an ETA here:  Check when you can get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) - GOV.UK (publishing.service.gov.uk)

An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.

The blended intensive program (BIP) is a specific type of employee mobility, including a mandatory virtual component in combination with physical mobility to foreign institutions. This type of mobility is linked to a separate, pre-approved project application, involving at least three institutions from three program countries, which must be linked by interinstitutional agreements.

The length of the mobility (excluding travel days) is at least 5 and at the most 30 days of physical mobility and any non-zero number of days of the virtual mobility.
