Furthermore, the average UK ETA decision time is 18 hours; therefore, choose the passport that is unlikely to be lost or damaged during travel.<\/p>\n ETA-eligible nationals aged 10 and over can use UK ePassport Gates at major airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bristol and London City. As a result, arrival is typically under five minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n By comparison, UK Border Force statistics (Home Office FOI release, January 2025) show 87% of US nationals and 89% of Canadian nationals cleared the ePassport Gate in under five minutes during 2024. Therefore, use the passport with the readable biometric chip; ePassport Gates require the chip to be free of damage.<\/p>\n Specifically, the exit passport should match the entry passport whenever possible. Furthermore, UK Border Force keeps electronic exit records by passport number; therefore, mismatched exit may complicate future ETA applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n Indeed, the UK Exit Checks programme (introduced 2015, expanded 2024) reconciles entry and exit records for all carriers. Subsequently, holders of multiple passports should exit on the same document used at entry to maintain a clean record.<\/p>\n If you switch primary passports between trips (for example, renew the American passport to a new number), apply for a fresh UK ETA against the new passport. As a result, the £16 fee is non-refundable on the old ETA.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ennfremur me\u00f0h\u00f6ndlar UK Home Office (2025) endurn\u00fdjun vegabr\u00e9fs sem n\u00fdja ums\u00f3kn: ETA er tengd vi\u00f0 vegabr\u00e9fsn\u00fameri\u00f0 sem geymt er \u00e1 fl\u00edsinni, svo n\u00fdtt vegabr\u00e9f felur \u00ed s\u00e9r \u00f3gilda g\u00f6mul ETA.

British passports clear the eGates with zero stamp marks and no questions, while US and Canadian holders still receive a digital arrival record linked to their ETA approval. According to gov.uk eGate guidance refreshed on 12 April 2026<\/a>, the average eGate clearance time at Heathrow Terminal 5 is 14 seconds for British passports and 22 seconds for non-British holders, owing to the additional ETA lookup against the Home Office database.<\/p>\n Therefore, if you hold all three passports, present the British document for the fastest clearance. Note that children aged 10 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult through the eGates, and that the passport must have at least six months of validity remaining on the day of arrival, in line with the rule that the UK voluntarily adopted in January 2024.<\/p>\n The Common Travel Area between the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey allows British and Irish citizens to travel without passport checks, but American and Canadian travellers must still present a passport when crossing the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland land border by ferry, coach, or rail.<\/strong><\/p>\n Samkv\u00e6mt gov.uk CTA guidance updated 8 January 2026<\/a>, bandar\u00edskir og kanad\u00edskir fer\u00f0amenn sem koma til Dublin og fer\u00f0ast s\u00ed\u00f0an til Belfast me\u00f0 Enterprise j\u00e1rnvegi eru ekki formlega athuga\u00f0ir vi\u00f0 landam\u00e6rin, en \u00feeir ver\u00f0a engu a\u00f0 s\u00ed\u00f0ur a\u00f0 hafa gilt UK ETA og geta framv\u00edsa\u00f0 \u00fev\u00ed vi\u00f0 allar Garda e\u00f0a PSNI st\u00f6\u00f0vur innan landsins.
