*A new travel authorization form is required to enter UK* All non-British citizens—including adults, kids, and babies—must complete and submit an electronic travel authorization (ETA) form BEFORE visiting the UK. This is similar to the travel authorization forms the US requires from overseas visitors. It costs around $19. You should submit the form for approval AT LEAST 1 WEEK before your flight. Your ETA lasts for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner. *WHEN YOUR PASSPORT IS SCANNED AT THE AIRPORT, IT WILL SHOW THAT YOU COMPLETED YOUR ETA* It’s a simple process: You just provide basic info, passport details, answer a few questions, and pay the $19. Once approved, you’ll get a confirmation email. Approval can take anywhere from a few minutes to up to three days. *KEEP THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL JUST IN CASE* Copy & paste the links below to apply To apply online: https://apply-for-an-eta.homeoffice.gov.uk/apply/electronic-travel-authorisation/how-to-apply To apply through the UK ETA iPhone app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uk-eta/id6444912481 To apply through the UK ETA google/android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.gov.HomeOffice.ho3&pli=1 **DO NOT USE THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, GO THROUGH THE UK OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT APPS AND WEBSITES ABOVE.

If you plan to visit other countries outside the UK while you're over, check their travel authorization requirements. By 2026, most European countries are expected to require a similar form for tourists.
