    A good experience, but if you don't know English, it's impossible to enjoy. Regardless of that, it's very well done, and especially the people who attend are truly talented and pleasant.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q - Who needs an ETA?

    A - Everyone needs an ETA to travel to the UK, except British and Irish citizens and those who already require a visa to enter the country.

  • Q - How do I apply for the ETA?

    A - You apply online through the official UK Government website or app. You’ll need a valid passport, a recent photo, your travel details, and a payment card.
