Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, How many visitors to Northern Ireland whose primary residence falls outside the UK and the Republic of Ireland have been charged with offences between December 2024 and December 2025 relating to the non possession of an Electronic Travel Authorisation.

The Home Office is yet to commence the legislative provision that will make it an offence to knowingly arrive in the UK without an ETA. Accordingly, there have been no prosecutions brought on this basis. Further details of how the ETA requirement is being enforced will be published in due course.
