Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Rollout – Key Dates & Updates

From Wednesday, 8 January 2025, all eligible non-European nationals will be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before traveling to or transiting through the UK.

For eligible European nationals, applications for an ETA open on 5 March 2025, and it will become mandatory for travel or transit from 2 April 2025.

By April 2025, all visitors to the UK, except British and Irish citizens, must have official permission to travel – either through an ETA or an eVisa.

⚠️ Important: People who require a visa to visit the UK will continue to do so, and should not obtain an ETA. An ETA is not a substitute for a visa.
