Visas and the ETA system
Nationals from outside the UK and Ireland require an ETA (or a visa) to travel to the UK for tourism, business, or short-term study purposes (up to six months). Applications for ETAs can be made online via the UK ETA app or the gov.uk ETA website quickly, and will suffice for most people. (A few countries are not eligible for the ETA system: the full list of eligible countries is here. If your country is not on this list, you will need to apply for a visa -- the application pages for standard visas are here. Contact us if this applies to you and you need guidance.)
