"The UK government is set to hike the cost of its new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) by a further 25 percent, raising the fee from 16 to 20. This increase follows a previous rise from 10 to 16 that was implemented in 2025."
"The rise would roughly bring the ETA price in line with the EU's ETIAS travel authorisation, which will be 20 when it is introduced at the end of 2026."
"The UK first introduced its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) in 2023, gradually rolling it out so that by April 2025 it was compulsory for anyone entering the UK, except those with UK or Irish passports."
"Foreign travellers who don't have the ETA will be denied entry or denied boarding if travelling by plane, leading to complications for young dual national Britons stranded abroad."
The UK government will raise the cost of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) by 25%, from £16 to £20, effective April 8th. This follows a previous increase from £10 to £16 in 2025. The ETA, introduced in 2023, will become mandatory for most travelers by April 2025. Foreign travelers without an ETA will be denied entry or boarding. The increase aligns the ETA fee with the upcoming EU ETIAS travel authorisation, set to cost €20 by the end of 2026.
