Visitors to the Gulf and Jordan pay 10 on the ETA.

Visitors to the Gulf and Jordan pay 10 on the ETA.

 


Citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Jordan will soon be able to apply for an ETA for as little as $10, allowing them to visit the UK multiple times over two years. This compares to Gulf nationals paying $30 per visit to the UK under the current electronic visa waiver (EVW) scheme, and Jordanians paying $100 for a visitor visa.

The scheme is set to go into effect in October 2023 for Qatari nationals and for the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan in February 2024 before expanding globally throughout 2024.

Earlier this year, the UK government announced plans to introduce a new ETA scheme as part of a digitalization of UK borders by 2025 to further strengthen border security and customer experience. An ETA is a digital travel authorization for people visiting or transiting through the UK who do not need a visa for a short stay or who do not currently hold another UK visa.

Immigration Minister Robert Genrick said:

Visitors from the Gulf countries and Jordan are a huge contributor to the UK’s tourism industry and the new ETA scheme will make it easier and cheaper for them to travel to the UK.

The ETA cost is one of the most valuable in the world when compared to similar international schemes. This small extra cost to visitors can increase the security of UK borders and keep our communities safe.

Lord Ahmad, Secretary of State for Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, said:

We are delighted that our partners across the Gulf and Jordan will be among the first to benefit from the UK’s new electronic travel authorization scheme. The plan is further evidence of the strong partnership between the UK and the countries of the region.

By reducing costs and visa requirements, the ETA scheme will make it easy for visitors from the Gulf countries and Jordan to enjoy travel to the UK, strengthening business and tourism links between the two countries.

Gulf visitors are vital to the UK economy, with more than 790,000 Gulf visitors spending $2 billion last year during their stay in the UK.

The move to the ETA regime means the removal of visa requirements for citizens of GCC countries and Jordan, bringing with it the requirement to visit the UK along with other visitors such as the US and Australia.

The ETA application process is completely digitized via a mobile phone app, making it simple and quick. To apply, individuals must provide biographical and biometric details such as a digital photograph and answer a series of eligibility questions.
