The Electric Travel Authorisation (ETA)  

• What is an ETA

It is the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). It is a new requirement that allows travel to the United Kingdom, with the exception of British and Irish citizens.   All travelers, including children, entering or transiting the UK will have to apply for this authorization. It will be possible to request it from 5 March of 2025, to be able to travel with this authorization from 2 April 2025.   Visa-free travelers to the UK will need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). This permit is electronically linked to your passport and allows you to enter the UK.  

• How to request an ETA

It can be requested through the UK ETA application, link attached (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uk-eta/id6444912481) or on their government website, GOV.UK through this link (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta)   Each traveler must apply for their own electronic authorization, including children and babies, so you can apply for it on behalf of others. You will usually know if your application has been accepted within 3 working days. Please note that you must apply at least 3 days prior to your trip and that some requests may require more time if additional information is needed to be verified.
