Important UK Entry requirements

It is your responsibility to ensure you have a full passport and we recommend that it is valid for 6 months after the return date of your trip. Tourist visas are not required for US citizens visiting the UK however a new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) will now be required.

 

Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETA) are being introduced for visitors to the UK who currently do not require a visa for short stays, they are digitally linked to a traveller’s passport and ensure more robust security checks are carried out before people begin their journey to the UK, helping prevent abuse of immigration systems.

• US and other Non-European citizens now requiring an ETA can apply in advance from 27 November 2024. An ETA will be required for travel from 08 January 2025.
• European visitors now requiring an ETA can apply from 05 March 2025. An ETA will be required for travel from 02 April 2025.
• An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to 6 months at a time and is valid for 2 years or until the holders passport expires – whichever is sooner.
