UK Visa Information

To travel to the UK from the USA, U.S. citizens will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for short visits and tourism, if they don't already have a UK visa or legal residency. Once approved, the visa is valid for 2 years (so come back y'all, ya hur!). Make sure you apply for the visa at least a week before you travel to the UK. The visa should only cost ~$16. Also, double check that your passport does not expire within 6 months of traveling to the UK!
