UK Visit Visa Requirements

This page covers visa and entry requirements for visiting the United Kingdom. Whether you need a Standard Visitor Visa depends on your nationality. Most passport holders must apply in advance, while citizens of the US, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a handful of other countries can arrive without a visa. However, many previously visa-free nationalities now need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before they travel. Each guide on this page is written for travellers holding a specific passport, so you can find the exact rules that apply to you.
