UK Mandates ETA for Travel from Today
February 25, 2026·8 days ago·via GOV.UK
The UK enforces its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme starting today, February 25, 2026, requiring visitors from 85 visa-exempt countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and France to obtain digital permission before travel. Airlines and carriers now check for a valid ETA, eVisa, or exemption, denying boarding to those without it to streamline border security and pave the way for a contactless system.
