UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) - Important Reminder
From 25 February 2026, the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement will be strictly enforced. Eligible travellers will need an approved ETA (or other valid permission) before travelling to the UK, and airlines will not allow boarding without one.
We recommend that agents share this information with students as early as possible to avoid any travel disruption.
Please follow the guidance below for more information:
The Home Office is running regular ETA information sessions throughout February for anyone who would like a refresher on the requirements and enforcement. Please see upcoming dates below:
