From this Wednesday, European citizens who visit the UK will need to present a ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization).
This is not a visa – it does not allow or fails to enter the country – but an authorization. Anyone who has a visa, by the way, does not need a step. Here is that of the countries that have to ask for it.
ETA can be requested through one or an application. You do not need to enter travel data, but you need to leave an email address, your passport number, a photograph and a credit/debit card.
The request is associated with a rate of 12 euros, which On April 9, she goes up to 19 euros. After completing the process, it can uninstall the application, ensures: ETA is associated with your passport (yes, you always have to have a passport to travel there).
At the time of boarding, you should not have to show anything other than to the ETA. But if you change your passport, you will have to change the ETA.
The British government states, however, that it is possible to travel to the UK even though it has not yet completed: “It should request an ETA before traveling to the United Kingdom. Can travel to the UK while waiting for a decision“.
Still, the request must be approved in a space of 3 days, so you must request it 3 days before your flight. Should receive an email confirmation.

ETA is valid for a period of two years, and allows the stay for 6 months in the United Kingdom as much as you want. If you travel with babies or children, they also need a step. It is possible to submit the order by someone else, but separately.
