Travel requirements to the UK are changing from 8 January 2025. This includes moving from physical immigration documents to eVisas and introducing Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) which is a digital permission to travel.
If you hold a UK visa and use a biometric residence permit or card to prove their immigration status, you need to get access to an eVisa before you travel and make sure passport details are up to date: www.gov.uk/eVisa.
If they already have an eVisa, need to inform the UK Government about the passport that you intend to use for travel: www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details
If you do not need a visa to visit the UK for short stays of up to six months, they will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). You can check when if need an ETA to travel to the UK and can apply here: www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation
