INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

1.      Check if you need a UK Visa and Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)

UK Visa

Information can be found in the following links https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa | https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/tourist-short-stay-visas | http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visitor-visa-guide-to-supporting-documents/guide-to-supporting-documents-visiting-the-uk

ETA

Everyone wishing to travel to the UK – except British and Irish citizens – everyone (including children) will need permission to travel in advance of coming here. This means if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa you will need an ETA.

ETAs are digitally linked to a traveller’s passport and ensure more robust security checks are carried out before people begin their journey to the UK. What an ETA is, who can get one and how to apply before coming to the UK. Information can be found in the following link https://www.gov.uk/eta
