Heads up, U.S. Travelers!! 🛫
Starting tomorrow (January 8, 2025), if you plan to visit the UK, you will be required to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before your trip!
Who needs it? All travelers from the USA, including children and infants.
How do I apply? Download the “UK ETA” app on your smartphone or access the application online through the GOV.UK website.
How long does it take? 10-15 minutes.
What do you need? Just your passport.
How much does it cost? 10£ (or about $12.50) and it’s good for up to two years.
How long does processing take? Up to 3 days, so it is recommended you apply at least a week before your travels.
What if you have a layover in the UK but won’t be spending any time there? You still need ETA approval even if you’re just briefly laying over in London, Edinburgh, etc.
Please message me if you have any questions or if you’re having trouble applying. Safe travels!
