PSA from your local travel agent: Any US citizen planning to travel to the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) now needs an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter the country. It is suggested to apply 30 days before your travel date. Once approved, the ETA is good for 2 years.

The cost is approximately $22 and you can apply from the website below. DO NOT pay any more than this amount--there are companies who will "help" you to apply and charge you extra with the promise of faster response time. NOT TRUE! You do not need this. Response time from the official site is just as fast at 3-7 business days.

Travel Agent Insight: I always recommend a top rated credit card for travel. These cards are full of amazing travel benefits. The benefits are top notch especially with the Chase Sapphire Preferred. This is the one that I carry and I recommend it to all clients that ask. Below is an article from one of my favorite travel websites. Just FYI for anyone who is shopping for a new credit card that will help you get to the places you want to visit the most!

Chase's popular mid-tier travel rewards credit card has won the award for the Best Travel Rewards Credit Card for the seventh year in a row.
