UK's ETA: New Rules and Dual National Impacts

The UK fully enforces its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system today, barring visitors from 85 countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and France from boarding transport without a valid ETA. This digital permission, costing £16, lasts two years or until the passport expires and links automatically to the traveler's passport via the UK ETA app or GOV.UK website. Most applications receive instant approval, though authorities recommend applying three working days ahead for reviews.
