비자가 필요한가요?
Yes — US citizens now need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) to enter the UK since 2025. Costs £10, valid for 2 years, allows stays up to 6 months per entry.
Before 2025, US citizens entered the UK visa-free for up to 6 months. Since 2025, the ETA is mandatory.
ETA costs £10, is valid for 2 years (or until passport expires), allows multiple entries of up to 6 months each. Online process, typically approved within 72h.
For studies over 6 months, work, or long-term residence, a physical visa via UK Visas and Immigration is required.

주의
흔한 함정.
목적지에 닿기도 전에 여행자를 되돌려 보내는 실수들.
Confusing ETA with visa
ETA is not a visa — no interview, no physical documents.
One-way ticket
Likely boarding denial.
Vague immigration answers
British officers want specifics: cities, dates, activities.
Working with ETA
ETA prohibits paid work, including paid volunteering.
Overstaying 6 months
Generates re-entry ban affecting US/CA/AU visas.
