Yes, every traveler, including children and minors, must have their own separate UK eTA approval.
What You Need to Know
There are no age exemptions for the UK eTA; each child, regardless of age, must have an individual application linked to their own passport. The application for a child may require information about their parent or guardian. Rules can vary slightly depending on nationality, so it is important to check specific requirements for each traveler.
Our Recommendation
Parents or guardians should apply separately for each child well before travel. Make sure to enter all details accurately to avoid processing delays.
A Quick Tip
Be sure to review the UK government’s rules for traveling with minors and check your airline’s specific requirements before your trip.
