As of April 2, ETA electronic registration for the UK will become effective against all European Union countries. ETA is required for all types of travel, including air, sea and land travel (such as the train between the UK and France), as well as for transit passengers. The ETA is valid only in the UK and does not provide access to Ireland or other European countries. The ETA is required for everyone, including infants and children, and must be linked to a specific passport. If your passport expires, you will need to reapply for an ETA. Airlines may deny you boarding if you do not have an ETA.
