**New ETA for UK arrivals.**

 

From 2025, anyone travelling to the UK will require a UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation).

 

**Who needs to apply for an ETA?**

All visitors to the UK must apply for a UK ETA before they travel, regardless of their purpose, unless they are exempt.

Applications for EU Nationals open from 5 March for travel on or after 2 April 2025

Applications for non-EU nationals travelling on or after 8 January 2025 are already open

**Exemptions**:

British and Irish passport holders, and diplomats

Those with existing permission to enter or remain in the UK

**How to apply for a UK ETA**

The fastest way to apply is using the UK ETA app. using the links below:

[Google play ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.gov.HomeOffice.ho3&hl=en_US&pli=1)

[Apple app store ](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uk-eta/id6444912481)

 

Applications take up to 3 working days to process. They are valid for two years.

 

If any passenger requiring a UK ETA does not have one, it could be too late to apply and be issued with one before departure. Therefore, our advice to passengers is to apply as soon as you are able to.
