Fast and affordable electronic travel authorization for Norwegian nationals
UK ETA for Norwegian Nationals
Norwegian citizens now have access to the simplified UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), eliminating the need for traditional visitor visas. As a Nordic nation with strong ties to the United Kingdom, Norway benefits from this streamlined travel solution that makes short-term UK visits more accessible and convenient for business travelers, tourists, and visiting families.
The UK ETA represents a modern approach to travel authorization, offering Norwegian passport holders a digital alternative that can be obtained entirely online. With approval typically granted within 24 to 48 hours and a minimal fee of just £10, the UK ETA provides excellent value for multiple visits over a two-year validity period.
Whether you're planning a weekend in London, attending business meetings in Manchester, or visiting Scottish highlands, the UK ETA makes your travel planning simpler and more efficient. Norwegian travelers can explore the United Kingdom's rich cultural heritage, vibrant cities, and stunning countryside without the complexities of traditional visa applications.
