What changed

In the 12 January 2025 dataset: visa-free, 180 days. Today: electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before departure. The rule has tightened.

Today’s verdict follows an official text newer than the dataset, in force since 2 April 2025. Official source

The official portal

Applications go through UK Visas and Immigration (Home Office). It is the only source that counts.

Medical insurance

Many consulates require proof of medical insurance among the supporting documents — the Schengen area, for instance, asks for €30,000 of cover. The exact list is on the official portal above: that is the authority, not us.

What this page does not replace

Entry rules change often, sometimes overnight. This record gives the known state, with its source; it does not replace checking with the destination’s embassy or consulate, the only authority on the day you leave.
