This new system is part of updated travel rules to the UK, designed to facilitate faster and more efficient entry.

If you already hold a UK visa and use a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) or Biometric Residence Card (BRC) to prove your immigration status, you can access your eVisa online at gov.uk/eVisa.

Ensure your travel document is registered to your gov.uk account before departure to comply with the new rules for travelling to the UK.

If you do not need a visa for short stays of up to six months, you must obtain a UK ETA travel permit. You can check when an ETA is required and apply at gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation. The ETA is essential for travelling to the UK as a non-EU resident, but British and Irish passport holders are exempt.

The fastest way to apply is through the ETA App, which allows travellers to quickly secure their permit almost instantly. Using the ETA App ensures your UK ETA travel permit is processed efficiently, helping you plan and comply with the latest rules for travelling to the UK. 

By ensuring you have all the correct travel documents, you can enjoy your P&O Ferries crossing completely stress-free. For the latest travel information and updates on our ferry services, visit our dedicated travel planning pages.
