Travel to the United Kingdom: Travel requirements to the UK are changing. This includes moving from physical immigration documents to eVisas and introducing Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) which is a digital permission to travel.

If you do not need a visa to visit the UK for short stays of up to six months, you will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Check when you need an ETA to travel to the UK and apply: www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation. From 25 February 2026, eligible visitors without an ETA will not be able to board their transport and cannot legally travel to the UK.

If you hold a UK visa and use a physical immigration document to prove your rights, or if you have an expired biometric residence permit (BRP) or card (BCP), you should take action now to access your eVisa by creating a UK Visas and Immigration account: www.gov.uk/eVisa.

If you have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and prove your immigration status with a passport stamp or vignette, you can make a free No Time Limit application to access an eVisa.

If you already have an eVisa, please tell the UK Government about the passport you intend to use for travel if it is not already linked to your eVisa UK Visas and Immigration account: www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-account-details.
