UK's ETA visa waiver: How to apply and avoid scam sites
Briefly

The UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system will expand to European travellers starting April 2025, necessitating approval for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens. The £10 visa waiver, which replaced the Electronic Visa Waiver, offers a more cost-effective, multi-entry alternative. Applications can be submitted via a mobile app or online, but only through official UK government channels. Caution is advised against scam websites, as only government-sanctioned platforms can process applications. Travelers should apply at least three working days prior to their journey.
To obtain the £10 visa waiver, travellers must complete an online process via UK government channels, ensuring they avoid scam websites.
Starting 2 April 2025, EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens will require Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the UK, with mobile app being the fastest method.
The ETA replaces the single-use Electronic Visa Waiver scheme, offering a more economical and multi-entry solution for travelers.
Be cautious of scam websites offering ETA applications, as only UK government sites are legitimate for processing the visa waiver.
