Home Office Future Border and Immigration Systems – ETA & EVISA Awareness Session 10 March 2025 |
From 8th January 2024, all non-European national visitors require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to travel to or transit through the UK. We will expand the ETA scheme to eligible Europeans, who will be able to apply from 5th March 2025 and will need an ETA to travel to or transit through the UK from 2nd April 2025. This means that by April 2025 all non-visa national visitors who do not need a visa will need an ETA.
Our UK border and immigration system is becoming digital. The way that those who have physical immigration documents prove their immigration status is changing. Beginning with Biometric Residency Permits, physical documents are being replaced by eVisas.
This event is aimed at pilots, operators and agents within the General Aviation sector to understand the new requirements as the ETA and eVisa rollout continues and are prepared for these changes, this event will cover:
An overview of the UK Electronic Travel authorisation (ETA) including who needs one and when
- An overview of eVisa including who needs one and when
- UPT Digital Permission Checks
- An opportunity to ask any questions you may have
