UK Travel Visa or ETA: Which Permission Do You Need?

Searching for a UK travel visa can lead to two very different processes: a visa application or an electronic travel authorisation, known as an ETA. Some travellers need neither. The correct choice comes from your nationality, existing UK permission and purpose of travel, rather than the airline, departure airport or cheapest application advertised online.

This guide helps first-time international travellers organise those decisions before paying for an application.
