What is the ETA? UK expands its €12 entry permit scheme to European travellers.

The UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system has officially expanded to European travellers. Starting 2 April 2025, all European visitors will need ETA approval – or, for some non-EU nationals, a visa - to enter the UK.
The system became mandatory for travellers from the US, Canada and Australia on 8 January 2025.
