The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) becomes mandatory for Moldovan citizens who want to travel to the United Kingdom after April 2. This authorization will replace visas and will also be valid for people who could previously enter the United Kingdom without a visa, IPN reports.
The Chisinau International Airport said that the ETA is a new travel authorization system through which physical visas are replaced by electronic visas.
Travelers interested in obtaining the ETA must access the official platform http://www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation and perform the process online.
This change is part of the British authorities' effort to improve border security and digitize the migration control process.
Passengers are urged to check travel requirements in advance and get their ETA authorization before departure.
