IMPORTANT – ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORISATION (ETA) SYSTEM
The ETA is a digital pre-travel authorisation required for most visitors to the UK, including those from previously visa-exempt countries. This new system aims to enhance security and streamline the entry process. While it’s an extra step, it should make travel smoother in the long run.
It costs £16 and is valid for multiple entries over two years (price subject to change at any time). Contact your travel agent for more details.
