New ETA Requirement for all UK Visitors from 8 January 2025

Last Updated : 11/27/2024

Published 10 September 2024

The UK government is taking major steps towards delivering its ambitious aim to digitise the UK border and immigration system and has today set out new implementation dates for the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) scheme.

 

 

Starting November 27, 2024, U.S. citizens will be able to apply

UK government are confirming that from 27 November 2024, eligible non-Europeans including US and Japanese passport holders will be able to apply for an ETA online and will need an ETA to travel from 8 January 2025.

How much is the ETA fee?

ETAs are digitally linked to a traveller’s passport and ensure more robust security checks are carried out before people begin their journey to the UK, helping to prevent abuse of UK’s immigration system.

An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to 6 months at a time over 2 years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.

 

※This information is as of 25th September 2024.
