Travel Requirements
Check your travel requirements regarding visas or Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETA) in advance of your travels.
Starting January 2025, many visitors from visa-exempt countries, including the U.S., Canada, and Australia, will need a UK ETA for entry. The ETA application is quick and can be completed online, with approval often granted within a few days. It allows multiple entries for short stays of up to six months for purposes such as tourism, business, or transiting.
To verify whether you require an ETA and to begin your application, visit the gov.uk for detailed guidance and eligibility criteria. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
