Starting today all visitors to the UK will need the new ETA. The ETA costs £10 and allows multiple visits to the UK for up to six months at a time. It will be valid for two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Everyone, including babies and children, will need an ETA and travellers can apply on behalf of others.
The ETA will be required for visits such as tourism, business, visiting family and friends, short-term study and even just transiting through the UK (so even flights connecting in the UK).
