00:00Planning a trip to the UK? Starting 2026, you could be turned away at the airport if you missed this one step.
00:06From February 25, 2026, visitors from 85 countries, including the US, Canada and France, will need digital permission to enter the UK.
00:16It's called an ETA, Electronic Travel Authorization, and without it, you won't even be allowed to board your flight.
00:23Airlines will be checking before you take off.
00:25If you don't have an ETA or a visa, it's simple. No permission, no travel.
00:30This new rule is part of the UK's push for a fully digital immigration system.
00:34Over 13 million travelers have already applied since the ETA launched in 2023.
00:39Until now, the rules were relaxed.
00:42But in 2026, enforcement begins.
00:45Applying is easy.
00:46Just download the UK ETA app, fill out your details, and pay the £16 fee.
00:51Most decisions come in minutes, but to be safe, allow three working days.
00:56UK and Irish citizens are exempt.
00:59But if you hold dual citizenship, make sure your British passport is valid.
01:03The UK says this system boosts security and makes travel smoother.
01:07But miss this step, and your trip could end before it begins.
01:11So before packing your bags, get your ETA or stay home.
