| What can you do to get ready for ETA? |
| f you hold settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you will not need an ETA. But your exemption will be based on your UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) account (which is created when a citizen applies to the EU Settlement Scheme), so you should keep it up to date and upload all your valid Swiss identity documents that you use for travel. This will be particularly important for entering the UK once the ETA scheme applies to Swiss citizens. If you currently hold Indefinite Leave to Enter or Remain (ILR) status obtained before Brexit please see Question 9 in our Brexit FAQ for information on what you need to do to have your immigration status electronically recorded, for example by applying for a Biometric Residence Permit. If you are a Swiss-UK dual citizen, you should enter the UK on a British passport. |
