UK set to charge travelers entry fee
The UK has joined the growing list of countries that have implemented an entry fee for visa-free visitors entering its borders.
Following in the footsteps of other nations including the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) will require travellers to pay £10 for a two-year entry authorization permit from 2024.
According to the UK government page, the ETA is a new requirement for people who do not need a visa to come to the UK. Having the ETA gives visitors permission to travel to the UK, and will be electronically linked to each individual’s passport.
