British citizens traveling with EU/EEAEEA The European Economic Area (EEA) consists of the 27 EU Member States as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The United Kingdom is not part of the EEA. (excluding Irish) spouses, partners, children and friends, should ensure that their fellow travellers have checked whether they require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). It is a similar scheme to the US ESTA or Australian ETA.
EU/EEA citizens travelling to the UK from 2nd April 2025 can apply for their ETA from 5th March 2025 onwards – please note that applications may take a few days. Further information can be found on our ETA page.
