What is the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization)?
The UK ETA is a digital authorization linked to your passport. It costs £10 (about $13) and is valid for two years. The ETA allows you to make multiple trips to the UK during that period.
Who Needs an ETA?
If you are from a visa-exempt country (such as the U.S. or Canada), you’ll need an ETA for short-term visits (under six months). This includes travelers connecting through UK airports, even if you’re continuing to another destination.
How to Apply:
You can apply online at least three days before departure. You will need your passport, a photo, and payment details (credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay). The application process is straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes.
