Do US citizens need a UK ETA?

By the end of 2024, all travelers from visa-exempt countries, including the USA, will need a UK ETA for their journeys to the United Kingdom.

Presently, US citizens enjoy the convenience of visa-free entry into the UK. However, the British Home Office is introducing the UK ETA as a step towards modernizing and securing its borders. The goal is to streamline the entry process while keeping accurate tabs on visitor numbers and their origins.

This concept isn't new. It mirrors systems like the United States ESTA. These systems are designed to make international travel safer and more organized for both visitors and host countries.

Using our website for your UK ETA application means opting for a smooth and supportive experience. We're here to make the application process less overwhelming and more approachable. Our team focuses on the details, ensuring your application aligns perfectly with the UK's requirements.

Wondering about your odds of getting a UK ETA? Use this tool and see for yourself:
