You’ll need an ETA to:
- go to the UK for up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family and friends, business or study
- go to the UK for up to 3 months on the Creative Worker visa concession
- transit through the UK – including if you’re not going through UK border control
More information will be shared as it develops

The path from dreams to success does exist.
🟪
Kalpana Chawla
🟪
“Kalpana” is a Hindi word that translates to “imagination,” and in 1997, Dr. Kalpana Chawla (1961-2003) became the first Indian-born woman in space. The astronaut's passion for the skies emerged early in life, when she would bike after planes taking off from a local military school. In her youth, she also visited the airplane flown by J.R.D. Tata, the founder of India’s first airline; she later brought Tata’s photograph on the first of her two NASA missions. Chawla was among seven astronauts who lost their lives aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia when the spacecraft broke apart upon reentering Earth’s atmosphere in 2003. This quote comes from an email Chawla sent to students at her alma mater, Punjab Engineering College, as she completed her final orbits. The barrier-breaking astronaut knew firsthand that you can achieve anything you can visualize.

Though some states have decriminalized ma*****na possession or use, importation of illicit narcotics remains illegal according to federal law.

Under the CBP Zero Tolerance Policy, even a grinder with ma*****na residue, or a an empty CBD pen with traces of THC residue can cause your Trusted Traveler (Global Entry, TSA PreCheck) status to be revoked, and a penalty of $500 to be assessed.

Once revoked, it's difficult to appeal the decision or get it reversed. It may also be difficult to get approved for PreCheck, Global Entry, or other Trusted Traveler programs in the future.

Trusted Traveler Programs (TSA PreCheck®, Global Entry, SENTRI, NEXUS) are risk-based programs to facilitate the entry of pre-approved travelers.

TSA PreCheck® allows travelers to experience expedited TSA screenings at participating US airports.

Global Entry allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States, and includes TSA PreCheck.

The NEXUS trusted traveller program, run jointly by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), allows card holders to fast-track through customs and speed through airports.

UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) has taken the decision without prior warning to suspend priority and super-priority visa processing services for all applications being made from outside the UK. Not only have the services been suspended, but the UKVI update says that “applications for study, work and family visas may take longer to process.” This means that the most common visas sought by corporate employers, under the Skilled Worker and Intra-Company routes, could take more than three weeks (instead of five working days when the priority service is paid for or 24 hours in the case of super-priority). Standard visit visa applications are currently taking six weeks instead of the usual three.

Happy Friday! Sharing a simple CMC Tip today that will save you the stress and expense of having to unexpectedly renew your passport last minute.

As international touring slowly picks up, it’s important to remember to save some blank visa pages in your passport for any required visas. The simple trick of covering blank visa pages with post-it notes will ensure these pages don’t get stamped while traveling and keep you from having to renew your passport sooner than expected.
