What is the UK ETA?

The UK ETA is a new travel authorisation now in effect, impacting travelers from visa-exempt countries looking to enter the United Kingdom. Here is everything you should know—who needs the UK ETA, what it permits, how to apply, and how Global Law can assist with your application to ensure there are no delays & errors.

The UK ETA (United Kingdom Electronic Travel Authorisation) is a pre-travel clearance introduced by the UK government for nationals of visa-exempt countries. This digital authorisation is now required before entering the UK for short visits related to tourism, business, study, or transit.

Although it is not a visa, the UK ETA must be obtained before boarding your flight, train, or ferry to the UK. Once approved, your ETA is electronically linked to your passport and remains valid for two years or until your passport expires.
