REQUIREMENTS
Starting January 8, 2025, the UK will require an ETA for all visitors from the U.S. & Canada
(requirements will extend to EU passport holders a few months later).
You can apply online for a fee of £10 (Editor’s note – per google that is about $12.36 USD).
It’s good for 2 years for visits not longer than 6 months.
