Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Next phase of rollout
Updated: Sep 13, 2024
Today, 10th September, 2024, the UK Government announced a major step towards delivering its ambitious aim to digitise the UK border and immigration system. By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa, except British and Irish citizens, will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) – a digital permission to travel to the UK.
Nationals of Gulf Cooperation Council countries already need an ETA to travel to or transit through the UK. All remaining nationalities will be able to apply for an ETA from later this year through a quick and simple process using the UK ETA app.
ETA is extending in two phases:
Eligible non-Europeans can apply in advance from 27 November 2024 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 8 January 2025.
Eligible Europeans can apply from 5 March 2025 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 2 April 2025.
Visitors can find out when they will need an ETA here: Check when you can get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) - GOV.UK (publishing.service.gov.uk)
An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.
ETA applies to:
visits of up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family and friends, business or short-term study
visits of up to 3 months on the Creative Worker visa concession Creative Worker visa concession
visits for a permitted paid engagement permitted paid engagement
transiting through the UK – including if you’re not going through UK border control
ETAs enhance the UK’s ability to pre-screen travellers and prevent those who pose a threat from boarding planes, ferries, or trains to the UK. By knowing more about travellers in advance, we can automate more border processes and improve the experience for legitimate travellers.

French School Groups & ETAs
Current rules for French School groups state that they can travel on an ID card, however, to get an ETA you need a passport. We have been in contact with the ETA Engagement Team at Home Office and they have responded with the following "We are currently considering the implications for French school groups. We will advise on this in due course"
Delay Analysis can help examine the timing, relationships, and program effect of each event before conclusions are reached. Simply identifying overlapping events does not necessarily establish that both had the same impact on completion. Their position within the schedule and the progress status of affected activities should also be considered. Different contractual approaches may apply depending on the circumstances and governing terms. Maintaining a clear chronology can therefore help create a more balanced assessment. The College of Contract Management provides a relevant forensic schedule analysis course for professionals who want to explore these analytical techniques further. If you need more information, don't hesitate to chat with our admissions team.

Changes to travel requirements can show how important it is to understand new procedures before making plans. That same attention to preparation is valuable when exploring supervisor courses online where learners can build knowledge around coordinating teams, managing responsibilities, and following workplace requirements. The College of Contract Management can also support professionals developing practical management skills.
