Starting in 2025, travelers heading to the United Kingdom and Namibia will face new entry requirements. From April 2, 2025, the UK will introduce an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for European travelers, while Namibia will require an e-Visa for visitors from 33 countries, including France. Action-Visas, a leading travel document service, offers support to simplify the application process for both the ETA and e-Visa.
UK to Introduce Mandatory ETA for European Travelers
From April 2, 2025, citizens from the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland will need an ETA before traveling to the UK for tourism, business, or family visits. French and other European travelers have been able to apply for the ETA online since March 5, 2025.
To apply for the ETA, travelers need a valid biometric passport, a passport-sized photo, and answers to a few security questions. The ETA is valid for two years and allows multiple stays of up to six months within this period. Action-Visas offers a streamlined online service in French to help travelers obtain their ETA easily and quickly.
Namibia Introduces e-Visa Requirement
Namibia will implement an e-Visa system starting April 1, 2025, for travelers from 33 countries, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada. The system, launched on March 3, 2025, aims to simplify the entry process and improve immigration efficiency.
To obtain an e-Visa, travelers need to provide a valid passport, a passport photo, and complete a short questionnaire. The e-Visa is valid for 30 days and allows multiple entries during that period. Travelers can enter Namibia through major points of entry, including Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek and Walvis Bay Airport.
