• New in 2025: The UK Government introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), this is an entry requirement for travellers who do not require a visa to visit or transit through the UK for short stays of up to six months.
From 2nd April 2025 the ETA requirement will be extended to include EU nationals.
ETA does not apply to UK or Irish nationals, those with permission to live, work or study in the UK for example those on Indefinite Leave to Remain or EU Settled Status, or those that hold a valid UK visa.
Further information about ETA such as the cost, nationalities impacted etc. can be found on the gov.uk website here:
