2026 年斯洛文尼亚旅行者的英国 ETA 要求：完整清单

斯洛文尼亚公民 2026 年的英国入境要求

If you hold a Slovenian passport, you do not need a visa for a short trip to the UK, but you do need an approved electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before you travel. Slovenia is on the Home Office’s ETA National List, and European nationals have needed an ETA since 2025 年 4 月 2 日. Since 2026 年 2 月 25 日 the scheme has been fully enforced: carriers check that you have permission to travel before you board.

Key facts: the UK ETA costs 每人 20 英镑, lasts 2 years or until your passport expires (whichever is sooner) and lets you make multiple trips of up to 6 months each. Visitors of 85 nationalities need an ETA (Home Office figure). An ETA is not a visa and does not guarantee entry to the UK (sources: GOV.UK, 内政部).

ETA Requirements Checklist for Slovenian Travellers

GOV.UK lists the same essentials whether you use the app or the website. Have these ready before you start:

• The passport you will travel with – the ETA is linked electronically to this passport, and you must travel on it.
• An email address – the decision is sent by email.
• A payment method – a credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• Photos – a photo of your face that follows the rules for digital photos (see our 英国 ETA 照片要求), plus a photo of your passport if you apply online. In the app, you use your phone’s camera to scan your passport and your face.
• Honest answers to the suitability questions – if you have a criminal record or have been refused entry to the UK before, GOV.UK suggests applying for a Standard Visitor visa instead.
• The £20 fee – it rose from £16 to £20 on 8 April 2026.

Who Does Not Need a UK ETA?

Not every Slovenian traveller needs one. According to GOV.UK, you do not need an ETA if, for example:

• you are also a British or Irish citizen – travel on that passport (the Home Office strongly advises dual British citizens to carry a valid British passport)
• you already have a UK visa, or permission to live, work or study in the UK – including settled or pre-settled status
• you live in Ireland and are travelling from Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man
• you are changing planes airside without passing through UK border control
• you are waiting for a decision on an EU Settlement Scheme application

If you are unsure, use the official 检查您是否需要英国签证 tool, or read our guide 谁需要英国的 ETA？.

斯洛文尼亚公民的英国 ETA 费用：2026 年为 20 英镑

The official fee is 每人 20 英镑 whether you apply in the app or online, and it is not refundable. It was £16 until the Home Office fee changes took effect on 8 April 2026. When European applications opened in March 2025 the fee was £10. There is no reduced rate for children, so a family pays for each traveller.

旅行者	Official ETA fee	有效性
来自斯洛文尼亚的成人	£20	2 年或护照到期
Child or baby	£20	2 年或护照到期
四口之家	£80 in total	Each ETA linked to its own passport

Because one ETA covers repeat trips while it is valid, a regular visitor pays once rather than per journey. The Home Office reports that 24.8 million ETAs were issued between the October 2023 launch and the end of 2025 (ETA factsheet).

如何申请UK ETA：分步指南

You apply in the official 英国 ETA 应用程序 (Google Play or App Store) or online through GOV.UK. If you cannot download the app on your phone, GOV.UK says you should apply online.

1. Download the UK ETA app, or open the online application from GOV.UK.
2. Scan or photograph your passport – the app uses your phone’s camera; online you upload a photo of the passport.
3. Take or upload a photo of your face. If it does not meet the rules, the application may be delayed or rejected.
4. Answer the questions and check every passport detail before you submit.
5. Pay the £20 fee.
6. Wait for the email. You must not travel until you get an email confirming you have an ETA.

Applying for someone else? In the app you can apply for another person if they are with you; if they are not, you must apply for them online. Our guide 如何申请英国 ETA walks through every screen, and our 英国 ETA 应用程序 guide explains how to check your status afterwards.

斯洛文尼亚申请人的处理时间

GOV.UK says you will usually get a decision by email within a day, but it can take up to 3 working days. The Home Office factsheet adds that most people who apply through the app get an automatic decision in minutes. Plan around the longer figure: allow up to 3 working days before departure, and remember that weekends and UK bank holidays are not working days.

Once granted, you can confirm that you have an ETA, and when it expires, with GOV.UK’s online check service. Nothing needs to be printed – the ETA is linked to your passport.

What You Can and Cannot Do with a UK ETA

根据 GOV.UK, an ETA lets you come to the UK for up to 6 months for:

• tourism and holidays
• visiting family and friends
• a business trip, such as meetings
• 短期研究
• a permitted paid engagement or event
• work under the Creative Worker visa concession (up to 3 months)
• transit through a UK airport where you pass through border control

It does not allow you to:

• stay longer than 6 months
• do paid or unpaid work for a UK company or as a self-employed person, apart from the narrow exceptions above
• claim public funds (benefits)
• live in the UK through frequent or successive visits
• get married, form a civil partnership or give notice of either – that needs a Marriage Visitor visa

There is no way to use an ETA to stay beyond 6 months. If you want to stay longer, work or study long-term, you need the right visa before you travel.

Travelling on a Slovenian ID Card? Read This First

For most visitors, a Slovenian national identity card is no longer enough to enter the UK. GOV.UK says you can only use an EU national identity card if, for example, you have settled or pre-settled status, an EU Settlement Scheme family permit, a Frontier Worker permit or S2 Healthcare Visitor status. Everyone else should travel on a passport – and that is the passport your ETA must be linked to.

Slovenian citizens with settled or pre-settled status

If you have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you already have permission to live in the UK and do not need an ETA. The same applies while you wait for a decision on a valid EU Settlement Scheme application. You cannot, however, use an ETA to come to the UK only to apply for settled or pre-settled status after you arrive.

Can Slovenian passport holders use the eGates?

Often, yes. GOV.UK lists EU passport holders as able to use the ePassport gates if they are 8 or over, have a passport with the biometric symbol on the cover and hold valid digital immigration status or a record of a digital exemption. Children aged 8 to 17 must go through with an adult and be at least 120cm tall. If the gate does not accept you, an officer will check your documents at the desk.

如果您的申请被拒怎么办？

Most applications are granted, but not all. According to the Home Office caseworker guidance, there is no right of appeal or administrative review against an ETA decision. If your ETA is refused, you can apply for a visa instead. If an application is rejected for a fixable reason – for example, an identity check that fails because of a poor photo – you can make a new application.

Important Dates for Slovenian Travellers

• 5 March 2025 – European nationals could start applying (GOV.UK).
• 2025 年 4 月 2 日 – Slovenian nationals needed an ETA to travel to the UK.
• 2026 年 2 月 25 日 – full enforcement began; see also our note on the end of the grace period.
• 2026 年 4 月 8 日 – the fee went up from £16 to £20.
• 持续进行 – an ETA stays valid for 2 years or until the passport expires, so you do not reapply for every trip.

At UK Border Control: What Slovenian Travellers Should Expect

An ETA gives you permission to travel, not a guarantee of entry. At the border your passport is checked and you will usually be asked why you are coming to the UK. Keep your accommodation details and your return or onward booking easy to find, along with anything that supports the purpose of your trip, such as a conference registration or an invitation from family.

Travelling with children? You may be asked to prove your relationship to them – for example with a birth or adoption certificate, or a letter from the child’s parent if you are not the parent (GOV.UK).

The ETA covers the UK, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. It is not permission to enter Ireland, which has its own entry rules.
