New UK travel authorisation rules could impact unprepared travellers
While most of the 38 million visitors to the UK last year did not require prior travel authorisation, the introduction of the ETA will change this for many
Starting tomorrow, January 8, travellers heading to the UK who are unaware of the newly introduced Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) may find themselves unable to enter the country. Corporate Traveller, an Australian travel management company, has issued a reminder about the new requirement, which affects visa-exempt visitors from a range of non-European countries. The ETA, costing £10, applies to travellers from nations such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea.

Nick MilliganNick, I will let you know next month (about the ETA, not the pigeons)
For unprepared read stupid. If they don't know the law then they should not be flying.
Nick MilliganWell, tariffs on Chinese steel imports haven't stopped pigeons from shitting on statues either. But that's not what they're supposed to achieve.
Illegal immigrants arriving by rubber dinghy from Calais don't seem to require an "ETA," Funny that!
This will hit the economy in GB plain stupid and everyone is complaining about Europe and Mallorca well sorry this is only going to result in more confusion and a loss of revenue !
