Citizens of Canada planning a visit to the United Kingdom must obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before traveling. The UK ETA is a digital entry requirement that allows eligible travelers to enter the UK for short stays without applying for a standard visa.
The application process is completed online and is designed to be quick and straightforward. Applicants need a valid Canadian passport along with basic personal and travel details. Once approved, the ETA is electronically connected to the passport and checked automatically by UK authorities.
The UK ETA can be used for tourism, short business visits, visiting family or friends, or transiting through the UK. Applying ahead of time helps ensure a smooth journey and avoids delays at departure or arrival.
With a valid UK ETA, Canadian citizens can travel to the United Kingdom with ease and confidence.
