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 - with the exception of those travelling on a UK or Irish passport. But although the scheme has been in place for almost nine months now, people who have not had the required authorisation have mostly not actually been prevented from entering the country. This phase is due to end on February 25th, 2026.

Among 125 respondents, 36% of Your Oregon News readers indicated they don’t have their REAL ID yet and plan to wait until their driver’s license renewal to obtain one.
