Canadian citizens must now obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before entering or transiting through the United Kingdom, effective January 8, 2025. The new £10 (approximately CAD 17.50) requirement applies to all short-term visits up to six months, whether for tourism, business, or family visits. The eTA, valid for two years, allows multiple entries and can be obtained through the UK government’s website or official app, with decisions typically provided within three working days. This change is part of the UK’s broader update to entry regulations affecting several non-European countries.
