United Kingdom eVisa options

The Standard Visitor visa replaced the old tourist visa. It is for tourism, business, study and other permitted activities. Note: U.S. citizens and other visa-exempt nationals traveling to the UK for short stays (under 6 months) do not need a traditional visa, but must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) starting in 2025.
