This is one of two important changes coming in 2025 for travellers to Europe.

✈️ Heads up for UK-bound travelers in 2025! 🇬🇧

Starting January 8, 2025, all travelers to the UK must complete an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)—think of it as a quick, electronic visa.

Key Details:
🔗 Official Site: Apply for an ETA here (avoid third-party sites that charge extra!): https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta.
💷 Cost: £10 GBP ($12 USD).
⏳ Validity: 2 years or until the attached passport expires.
📋 Pro Tip: Travelers must apply before boarding flights, though approval isn't strictly required pre-flight—airlines may enforce this, so better safe than sorry.

Insider Hack:
📱If using the mobile app, US travelers should scan the inside of the back cover of their passport (not the front) to read the NFC chip. Hold your phone steady on the last page, and you're set!

Fast & Easy:
✅ You can complete the process in minutes. Approval often comes back quickly—ours took under 5 minutes!

Coming Soon:
⚠️ Schengen countries will introduce their own ETA system (ETIAS) later in 2025—more updates to come!

This process mirrors the US ESTA system (since 2009) and Australia's e-visa program for Americans.

💡 Add this to your toolkit to keep clients informed and travels stress-free!
