New £10 charge for almost all UK visitors as ETA travel scheme finally rolls out

05Mar2025

 

The ETA is linked to the traveller’s passport. The cost is £10, payable by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

The permit will be valid for repeated stays of up to six months at a time within two years or until the passport expires, whichever is sooner.

 

 

Does the ETA guarantee entry to the UK?

No. The Home Office says: “An ETA does not guarantee entry to the UK. You still need to either:

• see a Border Force officer.
• use an ePassport gate.”

 

 

How does the £10 cost compare with other countries?

In ascending order of cost:

• Australia issues free eVisitor permits.
• Canada’s eta costs C$7 (£4) and is valid for up to five years.
• Europe’s much-delayed Etias scheme is set to cost €7 (£6) for up to three years.
• The US Esta costs $21 (£16) for up to two years.
• New Zealand’s NZeTA is NZ$17 (£8) for up to two years. But it requires a further payment of NZ$100 (£44) as the International Visitor Levy, and is NZ$6 more if you apply on the website rather than the app.

 

 

The Home Office says: “We intend to increase the cost of an ETA to £16 in the future, subject to Parliamentary approval.” No timescale has been set.
