The United Kingdom has implemented its Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme for visitors from dozens of additional countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
The system, aimed at tightening border security, took effect today, allowing eligible travellers to enter Britain with pre-travel authorisation, according to AFP.
The ETA, which costs £10 and permits stays of up to six months within two years, was first introduced in 2023, beginning with Qatar.
Last year, it expanded to include five Gulf countries and now covers citizens from approximately 50 more nations, such as Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and several Caribbean territories.
