Government reverses visa rule for Heathrow transit passengers

  • Heathrow Airport announced that transit passengers will no longer need electronic travel authorisation permits, following a government reversal on the rule.
  • The Home Office previously required non-European passengers to apply for an ETA, causing concerns among airport and airline officials about losing passengers to European rivals.
  • Heathrow's CEO, Thomas Woldbye, praised the decision as a critical move for the aviation industry and UK competitiveness.
  • Starting April 2025, all visitors to the UK, except British and Irish citizens, will need an ETA, with the fee potentially increasing from £10 to £16.
