New UK Travel Protocol for U.S. Citizens
As of January 8, 2025, U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom—whether for tourism, business, or transit through UK airports—will be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), unless they have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or Republic of Ireland. This new entry requirement applies across all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland and British Overseas Territories. The ETA, similar to the U.S. ESTA, acts as a pre-clearance for travel and is part of the UK’s shift to a digital border system.
