The ETA scheme will be implemented in a phased manner, on a nationality basis, over the next two years.
Qatar (from November 2023), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan (from February 2024) , will be the first countries to benefit from the ETA scheme, allowing them to move to non-visa national status.
The Home Office will provide further details of which countries will be rolled out next in due course. A full briefing of who will require an ETA, how to apply, how much it will cost and other information is available on Gov.uk
The Home Office will also be hosting a series of Sector events on the ETA scheme. Events are open to all who wish to attend any session.
