New travel guidelines for visitors from Europe
As you make your travel plans to join us in the UK, please be aware of new travel guidelines for visitors from Europe. Starting 5 March 2025, eligible European travelers can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). From 2 April 2025, an ETA will be required to travel to the UK. An ETA is a digital travel permission. The application process is quick and simple, and we recommend applying in advance to avoid any delays. An ETA currently costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to six months. For more details and to apply, please visit the official UK government website or the ‘UK ETA app’. We can't wait to see you soon!
