IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!
As of January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom (UK) began requiring most travelers, including those from the United States, Canada and Australia, to hold a valid Electronic Travel Authorization, or ETA, prior to entering the country. These new requirements apply to all those entering the UK by land, air and sea. All visitors, regardless of age, will require an ETA in order to be able to enter the country. Applications can be submitted in advance by paying the required fee, online at GOV.UK or through the UK ETA app, available on the Apple App store and Google Play. Please note it can take up to three business days for applications made online or via the apps to be approved. Once approved and issued, these ETA's last for two years or until the expiration of the passport, whichever comes first.
