ETA – pe scurt

Acte Britanice, Aplicații, App-uri, Articole Imigratie, Border Force, Ce este...?, ETA, Home Office, Informari, informatii utile, Intrarea in UK, Noul sistem de imigratie in UK, Români în Anglia, Viata in UK, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) este o permisiune de călătorie pentru cei care vin în vizită în Marea Britanie, care în prezent nu au nevoie de viză pentru vizite scurte, sau care nu au deja un statut de imigrație în UK.

ETA este o permisiune de călătorie – nu este o viză. Nu permite și nu garantează intrarea în Marea Britanie – doar autorizează o persoană să călătorească spre Marea Britanie.

Europenii pot călători cu ETA începand cu 2 aprilie 2025.

Cum se aplică pentru ETA? prin aplicatia „aplicația UK ETA”, care o descărcați din Google Play sau Apple App Store. Puteți aplica online pe GOV.UK dacă nu aveți acces la un smartphone sau aplicați pentru altcineva. Majoritatea solicitanților primesc o decizie automată în câteva minute, ceea ce înseamnă că în continuare se poate călători spontan în UK (totuși se recomandă să aplicați în avans cu cel puțin 3 zile lucrătoare, în caz că situația necesită analiză suplimentară).

Pentru a aplica pentru ETA trebuie să:

  • Plătiți taxa de £16 (inițial costa £10) .
  • Dați date de contact și detalii despre pașaport
  • Furnizați o fotografie valabilă, conform regulilor HO pentru fotografii digitale
  • Răspundeți la câteva întrebări: dacă aveți job sau nu, dacă aveți și altă naționalitate, dacă aveți condamnări, dacă ați fost implicat /suspect în crime de război, terorism, extremism.

Aveți video despre cum să aplicați

Trebuie să călătoriți cu pașaportul pe care l-ați folosit atunci când ați aplicat pentru ETA.

ETA permite călătorii multiple în UK pentru șederi de până la șase luni pe parcursul a doi ani sau până la expirarea pasaportului – oricare dintre acestea se întâmplă mai devreme.

Reamintim cine nu are nevoie de ETA :

-dacă sunteți scutit de controlul imigrației (exempt from immigration control), dacă aveți o viză, dacă aveți statut de settled sau pre-settled sau right of abode, dacă sunteți în tranzit printr-un aeroport din UK și nu veți trece prin controlul de frontieră, dacă sunteți cetățean britanic sau irlandez, dacă călătoriți cu un pașaport de cetățean al teritoriilor britanice de peste mări (British overseas territories citizen), dacă călătoriți cu un pașaport de British National (Overseas), dacă locuiți în Irlanda și călătoriți din Irlanda, Guernsey, Jersey sau Insula Man, dacă sunteți un copil care călătorește folosind formularul de informații de călătorie pentru excursiile școlare Franța-UK (France-UK school trip travel information form).

Ce se intamplă daca cineva nu poate obține ETA?

Daca cererea de ETA a unei persoane este respinsă, i se va comunica motivul si poate aplica din nou.

Daca vi se refuză ETA, nu puteți face apel și trebuie sa aplicați pentru o viză dacă doriți în continuare permisiunea de a veni în UK.

Este nevoie de ETA pentru cei care tranziteaza prin Marea Britanie? Daca da, de ce?

Guvernul a agreat o excepție temporară pentru pasagerii care tranzitează aerian (airside), si prin urmare, nu trec prin controlul de frontieră al Marii Britanii, de a avea nevoie de ETA. Excepția va fi revizuită periodic.

Pasagerii care tranzitează UK trecând prin controlul de frontieră al Marii Britanii vor avea în continuare nevoie de ETA.

Cum funcționează ETA în Irlanda de Nord?

Marea Britanie nu opereaza control de imigratie la granita terestra Irlanda-Irlanda de Nord, pentru calatoriile din cadrul Common Travel Area. Însă toți cei care sosesc în UK, inclusiv cei care intra prin Irlanda de Nord, trebuie sa respecte Regulile de Imigratie ale Marii Britanii, inclusiv obținerea ETA daca sunt eligibili.

Cetățenii britanici și irlandezi nu au nevoie de ETA și nici rezidentii non-irlandezi cu nationalitati care nu au nevoie de viză pentru UK( cetățenii europeni și americani), cu condiția să aibă dovezi acceptabile ale statusului lor de rezidență. Ghidul complet poate fi gasit aici. Daca acestia calatoresc în UK din afara Common Travel Area, vor avea nevoie de ETA.

Important!

-aplicați pe site-ul oficial. Nu pe orice site vă iese in cale pe google.

-sunt o mulțime de site-uri fake care promit ETA sau care imită site-ul guvernului britanic și care taxează sume mult mai mari ca să aplicați. Evitați-le!

-nu mai plătiți pe alții ca să vă aplice. Datele voastre personale esențiale ajung pe mâna unor necunoscuți.

-raportați suspiciuni de escrocherii online legate de imigrație aici: Avoid and report internet scams and phishing

-verificați dacă aveți ETA sau dacă aplicația a fost primită aici, pe chat: ETA Webchat.

-dacă aveți nevoie de informații despre ETA, luați-le de la sursă, de pe Gov.uk.


În caz că vă întrebați de ce a fost introdusă ETA: că ajută la securitatea frontierelor Marii Britanii, pentru că persoanele care aplică pentru ETA dau detalii biografice, biometrice si de contact și raspund la întrebarile despre eligibilitate si cazier. Pentru Home Office asta înseamnă că vor avea mai multe informații despre cei care vor sa vina în UK, dinainte de îmbarcare și așa previne sosirea celor care prezinta o amenințare.
