United Kingdom Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Information for Travel

Can US citizens travel to the UK in 2025?

Yes, U.S. citizens can travel to the UK. Starting January 8, 2025, they will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before their trip for tourism, business, or visits of six months or less. This digital approval is required for all parts of the UK and can be obtained through the official UK government website or the UK ETA app. Visit the GOV.UK website to apply for your ETA or download the official UK ETA app. You will need a photo of your passport and a photo of yourself, along with answers to some questions about yourself. There is a fee for the ETA, which is typically around $12 (or £10). While many decisions are automatic, allow up to three business days for processing.

What are the new UK travel requirements for 2025?

Visitors to the United Kingdom need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) if they do not need a visa for short stays of up to six months, or do not already have a UK immigration status. This applies from 2025 for many nationalities.

Is it safe to travel to the United Kingdom currently?

Exercise a high degree of caution due to the threat of terrorism in the United Kingdom. Petty crime is common, including pickpocketing, mobile phone and bag snatching, passport theft, as well as theft from cars, across the United Kingdom. Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence.

Why is there a travel advisory for the UK?

Terrorism is a concern with a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the United Kingdom and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times when visiting the United Kingdom.
