UK to roll out new travelling requirements for travellers

Travelling to the United Kingdom will become slightly more challenging for European travellers starting in April 2025. Currently, Europeans can visit the UK without a visa or fee, but a new rule will require them to pay a £10 waiver fee. This new rule is part of the UK’s plan to digitize its border and immigration system with an electronic travel authorization (ETA) scheme. The ETAs are linked to a traveller’s passport and aim to improve security checks. The UK government hopes that this new system will enhance security and provide a smoother experience for visitors to the country.
