Australia requires ETA permit for UK travel

Australia requires digital ETA for UK’s entry; costs £10, valid for two years, all must apply except certain exemptions.

Australian tourists planning to visit the UK need to apply for a new electronic travel authorisation (ETA) startingJanuary 8.

This requirement affects entry into England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The ETA replaces the previous Electronic Visa Waiver scheme and was introduced in November 2023.

Initially, it was available only to Middle Eastern travellers but is now extended to all non-European travellers, including Australians.

The ETA costs £10 (approximately AUD 20) and is non-refundable.

It is valid for two years or until the passport expires, allowing unlimited travel to the UK during this period.

However, an ETA does not guarantee entry into the UK.

All Australian visitors, including children, must obtain an ETA, except for certain exemptions.

These exemptions include dual British or Irish citizens, individuals with an approved visa, and those with permission to reside in the UK.

The ETA does not permit stays longer than six months, or allow paid or unpaid work.

To apply for an ETA, travellers should use the UK ETA app, available on both Apple and Google platforms.

Applicants will need to provide contact and passport information, submit a compliant photo, and pay the fee.

The process takes about three days for approval.

For those without access to the app, alternative application methods are available through linked resources.
