Great Britain – visa requirements

No visa is required as long as the trip does not exceed 180 days. If you are planning a trip lasting more than 180 days, please inform yourself in good time about the different options for obtaining a visa.

From 2 April 2025, travellers will require an electronic entry permit (ETA). This can already be applied for now at the following link:

Alternatively, the official app can be used to apply. The average processing time is approximately three days.
