New Entry Requirement for EU Citizens: ETA for the UK Mandatory Since April 2, 2024

As of April 2, 2024, it is mandatory for all EU citizens to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before traveling to the United Kingdom. This requirement applies to both tourist and business visits. The ETA application must be completed online and is a prerequisite for entry into the UK.

The ETA was introduced with a consular fee of £10. However, starting April 9, 2025, this fee will increase to £16.

For more information on how to apply for the ETA and detailed requirements, please visit our website under the section “Visa for the UK”.

We recommend all travelers to familiarize themselves with the new entry requirements well in advance to avoid any delays.
