As of January 8, 2025, travelers from visa-exempt countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and EU member states, must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before entering the UK. The ETA allows stays of up to 6 months for tourism, business, or short-term study. Applications can be submitted online or via the official UK ETA app, costing £10. The ETA is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay.
