As of January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom (UK) began requiring most travelers, including those from the United States, Canada and Australia, to hold a valid Electronic Travel Authorization, or ETA, prior to entering the country.
For more information – and to apply for an ETA – go to https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
The authorization is valid for two years.
