Australian citizen traveling this month, i need a ETA right?
As an Australian citizen traveling this month, do I need to obtain an ETA? I’ve booked my flights for the end of the month, but I realized I forgot about the new travel regulations for the UK. Should I apply for an ETA? Is the application process quick, or does it take as long as a visa?
Yes, as an Australian citizen traveling to the UK, you will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if you are planning to visit on or after the date the scheme is implemented. The good news is that the process for applying for an ETA is generally quick and straightforward, typically taking just a few minutes to complete online. Once your application is submitted, you should receive a decision relatively quickly, often within a few hours or by the end of the day, although it could take longer in some cases.
Make sure to check the official UK government website for the most up-to-date information on the ETA application process and any specific requirements you may need to fulfill. Safe travels!
