The United Kingdom is set to implement a new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system, requiring EU and EEA travelers to apply for entry permission online from April 2nd, 2025. This brings the UK in line with similar programs like the EU's ETIAS and the USA's ESTA. The ETA, costing £10 and valid for two years, allows multiple entries and will be introduced in stages, starting with Gulf nationals. Full implementation will see only UK and Irish passport holders exempt from this requirement.
The UK's new ETA visa waiver will be required for EU and EEA citizens from April, with applications opening on March 5th, 2025.
The ETA lasts for two years, allowing multiple entries into the UK, and is similar in structure to the EU's ETIAS system.
The requirement for the ETA will roll out in three stages, expanding from certain Gulf nationals to all non-EU travelers by January 2025.
The final phase will necessitate that travelers from EU and EEA countries apply for the ETA from April 2nd, 2025.
