The UK government has introduced an ETA scheme for Qatari nationals, making it easier and more convenient for them to travel to the UK. The ETA is a digital document that is linked to the traveler’s passport and allows them to stay in the UK for up to six months for tourism, business, or study.
Qatari nationals are the first to benefit from the ETA scheme, which is part of the UK government’s drive to digitise the UK border and enhance the travel experience for legitimate visitors. The ETA is valid for two years and allows unlimited visits during that time.
To apply for an ETA, Qatari nationals must provide biographic and biometric information, and answer questions about their suitability and criminality. The application process is simple and straightforward, and most applications are decided within hours.
The ETA scheme is expected to be extended to nationals of other countries in the coming months.
