The United Kingdom is implementing the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system in phases for visa-exempt travellers:​
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
*From January 8, 2025*: Travelers from 48 non-European countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan, are required to have an ETA before traveling to the UK. ​

*From April 2, 2025*: The ETA requirement extends to eligible European travellers. ​

By April 2025, all visitors who do not currently require a visa for short stays will need to obtain an ETA before travelling to the UK. ​

The ETA is a digital authorization that permits travel to the UK for up to six months for purposes such as tourism, visiting family and friends, business, or short-term study. It costs £10 and is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. ​

Applications can be made online or via the UK ETA app. It's recommended to apply at least three days before your intended travel date to allow for processing. ​

Please note that having an ETA does not guarantee entry into the UK; travellers must still meet standard entry requirements at the border.

What an ETA is, who can get one and how to apply before coming to the UK.
