Starting 8 January 2025, the list of nationalities requiring an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) prior to travelling to the UK is being extended. This will now include, but is not limited to, nationals from Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Israel. An ETA application is possible from 27 November.

From 2 April 2025, EU, EEA and Swiss nationals (including associated territories) will require an ETA as well. Applications should be possible from 5 March 2025.

An ETA will not be needed for those travellers who already hold a UK visa or have permission to live, work or study in the UK (including EU settled or pre-settled status).
