- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 13 March 2019 to Question 230087, whether local Common Travel Area journeys across the Irish land border will not be subject to the proposed future requirement to obtain Electronic Travel Authorisation.
- Answer
-
The detail of our ETA scheme is currently under development and requires primary legislation before it can be introduced.
The ETA requirement will not apply to British or Irish nationals. However, it will require visitors and transit passengers who do not normally need a visa to obtain permission prior to travelling to the UK.
The UK does not operate routine immigration controls on local journeys from within the Common Travel Area and the ETA scheme will be developed to operate in a way which is consistent with those arrangements.
