The Isle of Man is expected to introduce an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) late this year for all visitors travelling to the island who do not need a visa.
ETA applications will be assessed by the jurisdiction that a visitor puts on their application as their first port of entry into the Common Travel Area, which is made up of the UK, Republic of Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Applications will be administered on behalf of the Isle of Man by the UK.
The ETA will cost £10 (R233) for stays of up to six months at a time over two years, or until the holder's passport expires.
Travellers will not require an ETA if:
- they are a British or Irish citizen
- they are travelling between the Isle of Man and the UK
- they have a visa
- they live in the Republic of Ireland, and are travelling from the Republic of Ireland, the UK, Jersey or Guernsey to the Isle of Man
- they hold a British Overseas Territory citizen passport
- they are a holder of settled or pre-settled status granted under the EU Settlement Scheme.
