From 2 April 2025, Monegasque citizens will need an ETA to travel to the UK. The new regulations apply to all types of travel, whether for business, tourism, or even transit. The aim of the scheme is to improve border control into the UK.

What is an ETA?

The ETA is a compulsory digital document for visa-exempt travellers, with the exception of British and Irish citizens. The authorisation will be available to Monegasques from 5 March 2025 and required for all short trips, including for children, whose parents will have to apply on their behalf.

How to apply

Travellers will have to submit their application via a dedicated portal or mobile application. The process involves input of personal data and passport information

While most applications will be processed quickly, the press release advises people to plan ahead and apply a few days before departure.
