From 2 April 2025, most citizens of the European Union and other nationalities wishing to travel to the United Kingdom must complete the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), a digital form also required for transit.
- Check whether you need to apply, and remember to do so well in advance, as the response time is around 3 days.
- To apply, you must have a valid passport and use the official app.
- Once approved, it will be linked to the passport number used in the application. If you travel with a different passport, you must apply again.
- Once granted, it will be valid for two years from the date of issue (or until your passport expires, if earlier) and will allow you to travel to the United Kingdom during that period for stays of less than 6 months.
You can find more information about the process and the nationalities concerned on the UK Government website.
Visa for entry into the United Kingdom:
If you require an eVisa (and therefore do not need an ETA), we recommend that you <u>inform the UK Government</u> of the documentation you will use to travel.
Please remember that it is the passenger's sole responsibility to be informed and carry the necessary documentation, so we advise you to check all the information in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
