Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) extended to all non-visa nationals

The ETA scheme, first launched for Qatari nationals in late 2023, was rolled out to most non-visa-required countries through 2024-2025: Gulf Cooperation Council nationals from early 2024, remaining non-European visa-free nationals (including the US, Canada, and Australia) from January 2025, and European non-visa-required nationals from 2 April 2025. ETA costs £16 (rising to £10 then back) and lasts two years.
