Do Israeli citizens need a UK ETA?

By the end of 2024, Israeli citizens, along with other non-visa nationals, will face a new travel requirement to the UK: the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

Currently, Israelis benefit from visa-free access to the UK, facilitating hassle-free travel for both tourism and business. However, in a move to bolster border security and streamline entry processes, the British Home Office is implementing the UK ETA system. This initiative is focused on enhancing the monitoring of visitor flows and their points of origin.

The concept of an electronic travel authorization is not unique to the UK. Similar systems are in place around the world, such as the United States ESTA. These digital systems aim to reinforce security and simplify the travel experience for both visitors and host nations.

Opting to use our website to manage your UK ETA application means choosing a service that is supportive and user-friendly. We are dedicated to ensuring your application process is smooth and aligns with all of the UK's guidelines.
