Big Brother is watching you tour Big Ben or drink pints in that Irish pub.

The United Kingdom, which comprises England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, now has an Electronic Travel Authorization System (ETA).

According to the Travel Weekly website, the ETA started in 2023 and was just required for travelers from several Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.

Now, it’s adding Americans traveling anywhere to the U.K. starting in January 2025.
