Do Japanese citizens need a UK ETA?

By the end of 2024, Japanese nationals, along with other visa-exempt visitors, will be required to have a UK ETA before they travel to Britain..

Japanese citizens currently enjoy the privilege of visa-free entry to the UK, making travel for leisure or business quite easy. However, the British Home Office has initiated the UK ETA system to enhance border security and create a more efficient travel process. The introduction of the UK ETA aims to improve the monitoring of visitor numbers and their origins.

The concept of electronic travel authorizations isn't a novelty. It aligns with existing systems like the United States ESTA, the Canada eTA, and the EU ETIAS, which is expected to be launched in 2025. These digital systems are designed to fortify security measures and streamline the travel process, benefiting both countries and international visitors.
