The High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in the United Kingdom has announced that applications are now open for the new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), which will be required for travelers entering the UK from April 2 onward.

The ETA will not be required for:

• British and Irish citizens

• Individuals with permanent residence in the UK

• Holders of a valid UK visa

All other travelers must apply for and obtain ETA approval before their trip.

The application process is fully digital and can be completed online at the official UK government portal: Apply for an ETA

Once approved, the ETA will be valid for two years. To avoid delays, travelers are advised to submit their applications at least three days before their planned departure.
