Digital visas to be introduced on the Isle of Man
PADigital visas are set to be introduced on the Isle of Man from 23 April, impacting visitors travelling from outside of the UK or Ireland.
Requirements for the Isle of Man's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), mirrors that of the UK, which rolled out its scheme in February.
It applies to those who do not hold British or Irish passports and costs £20, remaining valid for two years after the date of issue or until the holder's passport expires.
What about the Common Travel Area?
Those who already have a visa or immigration permission to live, work or study within the common travel area, or who hold settled or pre-settled status do not need an ETA to travel to the island.
The changes, which are also being rolled out in the Channel Islands, do not impact passenger movement within the common travel area, which comprises the UK, Republic of Ireland, Guernsey and Jersey.
Residents in the Republic of Ireland or a child travelling as part of an organised French school trip also do not need an ETA.
Will I need a passport to get on a plane?
Some airlines will now require passengers to show their passport, even for journeys to or from the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Channel Islands.
And dual nationals must travel to the island using either a valid British or Irish passport, or another valid passport with a certificate of entitlement.
Under the new rules, those with Isle of Man immigration status need to ensure they take any additional documentation with them when traveling to or from the island.
How can passengers get help with visas?
Passengers experiencing difficulties entering the common travel area have been advised to request the airline contact the UK Home Office Carrier Support Hub.
Passengers will be able to apply for an ETA from 10:00 BST on 9 April.
