🇬🇧 Travelling to the UK with your family: what you need to know

🌍 Why is the UK an ideal destination for families?

The UK is a land of discovery for young and old alike. London, Edinburgh, Manchester, the villages of southern England or the magical landscapes of Scotland: the country is packed with cultural, historical and natural activities for all the family.

🎡 Interactive museums, 🌳 royal parks, 🚌 double-decker buses, 🎠 children’s attractions and even Harry Potter studios… there’s enough to create memories to last a lifetime.

But before marvelling on the spot, one step has become unavoidable since the Brexit: applying for eTA.

---

🛂 What is the eTA and why is it compulsory?

The eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) is a compulsory electronic authorisation for all non-UK nationals travelling by air to the UK.

From 2024, this requirement will gradually apply to citizens from many countries. This means that when travelling as a family, each member – including children and infants – must have their own ETA.

🧠 The eTA does not replace the passport: it is associated with it, and must be obtained before departure.

---

👶 Do children also need an eTA?

Yes, absolutely.
It’s a common mistake to think that the ETA only applies to adults. But in reality, every traveller, whatever their age, must have a valid authorisation.

👦 Children of all ages (including infants) must:

• Have their own valid passport
• Have their ETA made separately (even if the parent completes the form)

👉 Apply for an eTA for each member of your family on our website

📋 Checklist for safe travel to the UK with your children:

✅ Valid passports (6 months minimum recommended)
✅ eTA approved for each member of the household
✅ Accommodation booking (or family accommodation certificate)
✅ Proof of return flight
✅ Authorisation to leave the country if a parent is not travelling with the child
✅ Travel insurance (highly recommended)

---

😰 Common mistakes to avoid

• ❌ Confusing an ETA with a tourist visa
• ❌ Making a single application for several members
• ❌ Getting the passport details wrong (name, number)
• ❌ Waiting until the last minute to apply

The consequences? Delays, refusals, or worse… not being able to board.
