Apply for an ETA to enter the UK if you don't need a visa.
If you have a visa to enter the UK you do not need an ETA.
If you do not need a visa to enter the UK then you do need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to board a plane coming to the UK. You can apply for an ETA through your smartphone by downloading the UK ETA App on your iPhone or Android device. Please arrange this straight after booking your course with SKOLA.
