TRAVELLING TO OR VIA THE UK IN 2025? This heads up is for you!
United Kingdom - Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
From 8 January 2025, Australian passport holders will require an ETA to travel to and enter the UK. Applications for Australian passport holders will open on 27 November 2024.
You can get an ETA visa if you're:
• going to the UK for up to six months for tourism, visiting friends & family, business or short term study
• transiting through the UK (including not passing through UK border control)
ETAs will cost GBP10 and are usually granted within 3 business days. On some occasions it may take longer. ETAs are valid for two years or until passport expiry, whichever is sooner. You can travel to the UK as many times as you like whilst the ETA remains valid.
ETAs are compulsory for Australian passport holders arriving in the UK on or after 8 January 2025. This includes the transits referenced above.
Please note that the above information is applicable for Australian passport holders only. Other nationalities may have different obligations with regard to ETAs. More information on the ETA process can be found here:
