Location: United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and British Overseas Territories

New Entry Requirements for U.S. Citizens Traveling/Transiting United Kingdom Airports – Effective January 8, 2025

Starting January 8, 2025, U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom for short visits, tourism, or business, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if they do not have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. This requirement applies to all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland and British Overseas Territories. The ETA is similar to the U.S. ESTA system and acts as a pre-clearance for travel. This change is part of the UK’s move towards a digital border system.

An Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA):

May take up to three working days to process.
Costs £10 ($12.75).
Is required for travelers of all ages.
Is valid for two years or the remaining period of validity on a passport, whichever is shorter; and
Does not require travel details.
