Do I need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)?
An Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) allows some travellers to enter the UK without a visa. Check if you need an ETA on the UK government website.
Since 2 April 2025, you need an ETA if you're an EU national visiting the UK for tourism or business.
Apply for your ETA before you travel. Processing usually takes up to three days.
