Full Story:
Starting in March 2025, travellers from France, Italy, Monaco, and other countries within the European Union (EU) who currently do not require a visa for short stays in the UK will need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). This new requirement, similar to the US ESTA system, will also apply to EU nationals and visitors from other countries. The ETA will be mandatory for entry into the UK. It is aimed at improving border security and facilitating smoother travel processes. The ETA will be obtained online prior to travel and will require applicants to provide personal information and details about their trip. This new travel rule is part of the UK’s effort to strengthen its border control measures and ensure the safety and security of the country.
