There are new travel requirements for Australian travellers &#8211; here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australian travellers now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to visit the United Kingdom. This new pre-travel pass is set to change how travellers (including Aussies) jet off to the UK \u2013 here\u2019s what you need to know to navigate the updated requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videowrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uG1zaOMl63M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-AU&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ETA is a digital travel permit required for visitors from visa-free countries \u2013 including Australia \u2013 to enter the United Kingdom for short trips of up to six months. It\u2019s designed to streamline the immigration process on arrival while keeping security in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without an ETA, visitors won\u2019t be able to board flights or enter the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you get it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The application process is straightforward and can be completed online or via a dedicated mobile app. To apply, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A valid passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A debit or credit card for payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most applications will be approved within 72 hours, but like travel insurance, it\u2019s recommended to apply as soon as your travel plans are locked in. Once approved, the ETA is linked to your passport and is valid for multiple trips over two years (or until your passport expires).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does it cost? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australian passport holders will need to pay a non-refundable \u00a310 fee when applying for the ETA. If your application isn\u2019t approved, you\u2019ll need to pay the fee again when reapplying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When does it start?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The requirement came into effect on January 8 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who&#8217;s exempt?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a UK or Irish citizen, you\u2019re off the hook\u2014no ETA needed. The same goes for travellers with a UK visa or residency. However, for Aussies and other passport holders enjoying visa-free access, this is now a must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the change?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ETA is part of a broader effort to improve border security while making the travel process smoother. Think of it as a quick check-in with UK authorities before you even leave home. While it\u2019s an extra step for Aussie travellers, the ease of applying and the multiple-entry validity make it relatively hassle-free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do I need to do?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve got plans to visit the UK, don\u2019t wait until the last minute to organise your ETA. Head to the official UK government website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gov.uk<\/a> for all the details \u2013 and start your application early!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover London<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover London\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000YSRBNYA5\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_66f078e03727045f191c37ba9f62eb27\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/the-clermont-victoria-london-united-kingdom-europe\/006RF00000YSRBNYA5\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus   \" data-name=\"The Clermont, Victoria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/wn78os7tpk0rywf7361h.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"The Clermont, Victoria, London, United Kingdom\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>London, United Kingdom<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">The Clermont, Victoria<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">London Heritage Elegance near Buckingham Palace &#038;
