Starting on January 8, 2025, anyone traveling with a passport from the United States will be required to have an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter the UK for any reason, including transiting through a UK airport. This ETA is a mandatory, paid-for authorization to travel, with security clearance done in advance. Travelers will have to show that they have been issued an ETA to board an airplane bound for the United Kingdom.
We have linked the ETA application below, and the cost of the application is £10. Once it is issued, your ETA will be valid for two years or until the passport expires, whichever date comes first.

You may need a visa to come to the UK to visit, study or work.

Trick, or treat? Travel edition 👻

“Travel insurance is a waste of money”

Trick! We always recommend our clients add travel insurance to their vacations. It’s a hassle-free way to protect yourself if something occurs before or during your trip. We have dealt with many trip cancellations and interruptions, so we have learned from experience that covering your trip is worth the relatively low added cost.

We hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃
