<p>To strengthen the security of the UK border, the Government is introducing an Electronic
Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. This scheme is similar in nature to the USA ESTA
and the EU ETIAS Scheme which will be introduced this year.</p><p>Applicants will
need to complete a quick, light-touch ETA application form for a small fee. They will
need to provide biographic and biometric data, and answer a short set of suitability
questions.</p><p>The exact cost of an ETA application be announced in due course.</p><p>If
granted, an ETA will be valid for multiple trips over a 2 year period, or until the
expiry date of the passport used to apply, whichever is sooner.</p>
