Travelling to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
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.
You can find all the important information in the document HERE.
