Additional requirements for EU freight drivers entering the UK from 2nd April 2025
An Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a new travel requirement for EU nationals (including both freight drivers and passengers) who are travelling to the UK for a short period of time.
While non-EU travellers (who don’t need a visa for short stays) are already expected to apply for an ETA before arriving in the UK, the control will be applicable to EU nationals from the 2nd April 2025.
All information regarding the ETA and how to apply can be found at the following link – Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) factsheet – 19 March 2025 – Home Office in the media
