Britain announces: The UK has launched a new system for tourists and announced a new visa policy.
Britain announces, The Jang daily claims that new visa rules, which will impact visitors from a variety of nations, were announced on March 11, 2025, as part of efforts to fortify the UK’s border system and stop the influx of illegal immigrants. The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) system and modifications to visa regulations are the two primary recent improvements.
In order to prescreen visitors from visa-exempt nations prior to their arrival, the UK has put in place the ETA system. This system will be electronically connected to the visitors’ passports and will be in effect for a maximum of two years or until the passport expires. Because they previously did not require a visa or authorization to enter, travelers from a number of nations have encountered challenges since the new system was put into place.
The new process will now be mandatory for residents of the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Israel, the Caribbean, Europe, and other Pacific nations. Prior to their trip to the UK, they will need to file for an ETA. With a passport, a digital current photo, and a £10 fee, travelers will need to apply for an ETA online or through a mobile app. Their application will be approved in a few days.
