Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) - Engagement Session
One of the government’s priorities is securing the UK’s border and keeping our people safe by ensuring that everyone wishing to travel to the UK (except British and Irish citizens) has permission to do so in advance of travel. To fill the current gap in advance permissions the government is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. The ETA Scheme will apply to those passengers visiting the UK or transiting the UK who do not need a visa for short stays. British and Irish citizens will not be required to obtain an ETA.
The introduction of ETAs will be a significant change for many people who can currently travel to the UK without any prior interaction with the Home Office. We will support rollout with a global marketing communications and engagement campaign.
This event will provide an overview of the ETA scheme and provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions about the scheme and its impact on organisations and the travelling public. We welcome attendance from all that are interested in learning about the scheme.
