IMPACT — MEDIUM
The U.K. Home Office has announced that it will require travelers who do not need a visa to apply for Electronic Travel Authorization.
Key Points:
Additional Information: ETA will be valid for two years for multiple entries into the country. Individuals who are denied ETA must apply for a Standard Visitor visa, Temporary Work – Creative Worker visa or transit visa. More information regarding ETA is available here.
BAL Analysis: The Home Office is introducing ETA to increase border security and improve travel for those who do not need a visa to enter the country. ETA is set to replace the current Electronic Visa Waiver Scheme, which requires visitors to the U.K. from Gulf Cooperation Council countries to pay a higher cost for a single-use visit.
