In short they want a secondary visa after the primary visa... grin UK UK...
Don't be surprised it would cost more or about the same price as the primary visa.

It's even for countries in the European Union and others who usually did not need a visa to travel to the UK. People don't read and they'll rush to comment.

Terrible reporting from our news men..


Who will need an ETA
If you’re from Qatar
You’ll need an ETA if you’re travelling to the UK on or after 15 November 2023. You’ll be able to apply from 25 October.

If you’re from Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates
You’ll need an ETA if you’re travelling to the UK on or after 22 February 2024. You’ll be able to apply from 1 February 2024.

If you’re from another country
You do not need to apply for an ETA now. More nationalities will be added to the scheme later.

Who will not need an ETA
You will not need an ETA if you have either:

a British or Irish passport
permission to live, work or study in the UK
a visa to enter the UK

U K is really trying to create avenues for more Revenues for their Country,as they are no longer under European Union,so they need to find a new ground to get more funds, including Education, Visas Sales and more Opportunities to the Migrants without necessarily bringing restrictions.
You don't blame them Nigerian government should equally think outside the Box and make new deals!

Even Americans need this. Starting end of 2023. In fact, this is now required for all US citizens visiting all 26 Schengen Zone European countries.

That's the whole idea. You don't need it if you have a visa. The goal is to know who is entering the country at every point in time especially when the traveler is from a country that doesn't require visa to go to the UK. They cannot depend on flight data from secondary parties alone to monitor this thus the need for the this travel document. It is not a visa and the aim is not to restrict entry since the document is given to you once you apply online (if you're from a visa free country). So the US, Canada, etc. still have free entry. I don't know why we're sensationalizing it, some other countries already have this for different purposes. In Canada, it's also called ETA and in the US, it's called ESTA

Read! This does not apply to you. You need visa. This is mostly for visa free countries and it's not hard to get. With less than $7, you apply online and get it immediately.

A visa has never guaranteed entry right from time anyway, so I don't understand the sensationalism in the title of this thread.

So far as I know, ETA is meant for people who are not required to get a visa, whether for short visits, transit, tourism, or medical treatments. For those required to get a visa, it is not applicable. They just need to visit gov.uk to confirm.

UK too they use Nigeria catch cruise

Nigerian Students alone spent $2.5billion on tuition in 2022, add cost of living, cost of tickets, Visa and you are looking at $10billion yearly in to their economy from Nigeria

Japarians should try other European countries that have labour shortage , Northern Europe Austria, Hungary

Most Nigerians travel to work hard, except some few criminal drug dealers

.

There is some confusing/conflicting information in the additional details provided. The bolded paragraphs below should have just been omitted and it would be clear to everyone that it only applies to those who previously did not require a visa to visit the UK.

Kingzjayzee:


The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK.

Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires.

According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports.

A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel.

There is a possibility almost 8 million people alone got visas into the UK this year ,all from Nigeria. They over use the quota. So they want to ensure a limitation.

This isn't correct, ETA is for those countries who do not require visa to come to the UK...

Who will need an ETA
If you’re from Qatar
You’ll need an ETA if you’re travelling to the UK on or after 15 November 2023. You’ll be able to apply from 25 October.

If you’re from Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates
You’ll need an ETA if you’re travelling to the UK on or after 22 February 2024. You’ll be able to apply from 1 February 2024.

You do not need to apply for an ETA now. More nationalities will be added to the scheme later.

Who will not need an ETA
You will not need an ETA if you have either:

a British or Irish passport
permission to live, work or study in the UK
a visa to enter the UK

Only the usual Visa is required for Nigerian.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/electronic-travel-authorisation-eta#who-will-need-an-eta



Kingzjayzee:
The UK on Monday, September 4 announced that Nigerians and other citizens, except British and Irish nationals, wishing to enter the country must apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

The new rule becomes effective from November 15, 2023, and applies to everyone, including children.

The new travel rule means that all visa applicants wishing to travel to the UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) card before they enter or transit through the country,

The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK.

Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires.

According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports.

A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel.

"This means that if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK, you will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), your stay must be shorter than six months and could include tourism or visiting family and friends, transit, business, and short term study.

“You do not need to show a paper copy, but it may be helpful to prove the confirmation email for your own records while an ETA grants you permission to travel to the UK, it does not grant you entry. So, you would still need to go through passport control at the border to enter the UK. “Make sure you show the same passport you used to apply for your ETA and that your passport is valid for the whole of your stay."
