ETA stands for Electronic Travel Authorization- it’s a new travel documentation system implemented by the United Kingdom for non-UK citizens visiting the United Kingdom. ETA approval is required before entry into the country.
ETA Participating Countries are The United Kingdom (which includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).
If you are traveling abroad from any non-EU, non-UK country and plan on having a stop in the United Kingdom and an EU country, you will need to apply for and be approved by both ETIAS and ETA.
No, if you have residency within a UK country, you will not need ETA approval for entry. However, you will need to apply for ETIAS in the event you are visiting mainland Europe.
