New UK Travel Rule for U.S. Visitors—Are You Ready? ???????? American travelers heading to the UK will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure — a law that went into effect in early January of this year. This isn’t a visa, but it is a crucial extra step for entry. Here’s what you need to know: ? Who needs it? All U.S. visitors traveling for tourism, business, short-term study (up to 6 months), or airport transit. ? Cost? ￡10 (about $12.75). ? Validity? 2 years, allowing multiple entries. ? How to apply? Online or via the UK ETA app (quick & easy). ? When to apply? At least 3 days before departure to avoid last-minute issues. If you’re heading to London, Edinburgh or beyond in 2025, remember: No ETA, no boarding. Make sure this is on your checklist! #LOSTiN #travel

Would you travel solo? ?? More travelers are embracing solo adventures, with top destinations including Brazil, South Korea, and India —?but why the sudden shift?
