New entry requirement to the UK from April 2, 2025

Electronic travel authorization ETA for travel to the United Kingdom

FROM 2 APRIL 2025: Electronic travel authorization ETA for travel to the United Kingdom

 

England and the rest of the United Kingdom (UK) are introducing an electronic travel authorization (ETA) to travel to the country. This is not a visa, but a permit that all foreigners* (*some exceptions) must have to travel to the country from 2 April 2025.

Three-day processing time

As of 5 March, Norwegians can apply for an ETA. There are some exceptions, but the vast majority of Norwegians and other foreigners need an ETA if they are going to travel to the United Kingdom. British authorities state that the processing time is approx. three working days, but it may take longer. This means that you must apply for it, and have it in order, well in advance of your departure. If this is not the case, you will be refused entry.

Valid for two years

Applying for an ETA costs 10 pounds (GBP) per person, but if it is granted, it is valid for 2 years. This does not replace a visa. Passports and any other necessary travel documents must be valid for the duration of your stay.

Quick and easy to apply

The application process is “quick and easy”. This is done via the UK ETA app, which can be downloaded from the Appstore and Google Play. You must have your passport, payment card and email available when you apply. You may also be asked some questions about your stay that you must answer during the application process.
