Updated UK Transit Info

1/17/2025

0 Comments

 
​New measures were announced yesterday, January 16, 2025, concerning the UK's new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)
 
Two Important Updates:
  • Effective immediately, following feedback from the aviation industry, the UK government has agreed to a temporary exemption for passengers who transit airside, and therefore do not pass through UK border control.  Those that transfer 'landside' using UK border control, will need an ETA.
    There is no end-date for the 'temporary exception', only mention of a periodic review by the UK government.
    This move will primarily affect Heathrow and Manchester airports, as the only UK airports which currently offer transit facilities. The exemption will be kept under review.
  • Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) fee will increase to £16 (formerly £10).  This is subject to UK government approval and as of today remains £10 according to the ETA website.  We encourage travelers to apply now to avoid the increase.
The introduction of ETAs is in line with the approach to border security taken by many other countries, including the USA and Australia.
