New Travel Authorization for UK

By Linda Tancs

The U.K. Government recently announced the next phase in the implementation of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). An ETA gives visitors permission to travel to the United Kingdom. By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa will need an ETA to travel to the U.K. It will be linked to the traveler’s passport and will last for two years or until the passport expires – whichever comes first. An ETA for American visitors will be required to enter the U.K. starting January 8, 2025. A decision on the application for authorization should arrive within three working days.
