Visa and Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
Even if you have travelled to the UK recently, all attendees are recommended to check if a visa is needed to enter the UK. Please see this online form.
Attendees are also reminded that in some cases visas may be required if you are transiting through a particular country. Please check your flight schedule carefully and consult the relevant governmental website for visa information.
By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to travel to or transit through the UK. Please see this information sheet from Visit Britain.
The UK GOV website has more information on ETA requirements. Please check if you need to apply for a ETA on the UK Gov website.
Please note, we are aware of a number of websites and travel agencies who suggest delegates should process their ETA application with them. This is not needed and often comes at a greater cost. We recommend all delegates to process their ETA application through the UK Gov Website. The current price of an ETA through the UK Gov website is £16.
The UK ETA takes just a few minutes to complete on a phone app, costs only £16, and once done, allows people to visit the UK multiple times without needing to reapply. It’s quick, affordable, and super convenient!
