Something new for the USA folks when you travel into the UK (including Northern Ireland). £10 isn't a lot of you travel alone but for a family it ads up. And yes you need it even if you're just passing through the airport (think JFK, Heathrow, Rome). It's good for 2 years. Opens up for applications for Americans in November, required starting 8 January 2025. I wouldn't wait til the last minute.
The UK Home Office has announced dates for the worldwide rollout of its Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme.
