Back in September we reported on the next phase of roll out of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), being introduced by the UK Border Force.
The new ETA raised questions about requirements for French school groups.
I’m pleased to report, we have received the following confirmation from the Home Office via our partners at UK Inbound:
Do children aged 18 or under who are part of an organised French trip group require ETA?
Nationals or citizens of any country who are aged 18 or under, studying at a school or educational institution in France registered with the French Ministry of Education and seeking to enter the UK as part of a school party of 5 or more pupils organised by that school or institution, do not need entry clearance before they travel to the UK as a Visitor.
This means that children aged 18 or under who are travelling to the UK as part of 5 or more pupils organised French school groups are not required to obtain an ETA.
Further information will follow about border processes.
