In dieser Mobility Minute spricht Managerin Maja Sugui über bevorstehende Änderungen für deutsche Staatsbürger, die in das Vereinigte Königreich reisen: Ab dem 2. April 2025 benötigen deutsche Staatsbürger eine gültige elektronische Reisegenehmigung (ETA) für Aufenthalte bis zu 180 Tagen.

Mit der Einführung des ETA-Systems müssen visumfreie Staatsangehörige – Bürger von Ländern, die für Kurzaufenthalte im Vereinigten Königreich kein Visum benötigen, wie Tourismus, Geschäftsreisen oder Kurzzeitstudium – nun eine digitale Genehmigung vor der Einreise in das Vereinigte Königreich einholen.



In this Mobility Minute, Manager Maja Sugui discusses an upcoming change for German citizens traveling to the United Kingdom: starting 2 April 2025, German citizens will need a valid Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for stays up to 180 days. 
 
With the introduction of the UK’s ETA system, visa-free nationals—citizens of countries that do not require a visa for short visits to the UK, typically for tourism, business or short-term study—must now obtain digital permission before travelling to the UK.
