European passport holders, who will travel to Jersey through the UK after 2 April 2025, can now apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation ahead of travel.

From 2 April 2025, European passport holders who come to Jersey via the UK, will require an ETA before arriving at the UK border. Everyone travelling needs to get an ETA, including babies and children.

An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple visits to the Common Travel Area for stays of up to six months at a time over two years, or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner. A decision is usually reached within three days; however, most people will get a much quicker decision.

The ETA is linked to your passport and is issued in advance. It will not lead to delays at the border.

Those travelling directly to the Island (and other Crown Dependencies) will not require an ETA until at least Autumn 2025. Therefore, this requirement will not affect French day trippers, including those travelling using ID cards, this summer.
