UK Sets 25 Feb 2026 Deadline for Mandatory ETA—French Travellers Face New Pre-Travel Check
From 25 February 2026, French nationals heading to the UK for short stays must hold a £16 Electronic Travel Authorisation. Airlines and Eurostar will enforce the rule at check-in, adding a new administrative step for French corporates and tourists. Mobility teams should update booking tools and brief employees now to avoid last-minute trip denials.
