  Electronic travel authorization may be required for Transit

  Travelers transiting through the United Kingdom who will not pass through border control (‘airside’ transit) do not require an ETA. Travelers required to pass through border control, such as when traveling on separate tickets or transferring between airports, must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to transit through the United Kingdom. Check the source for more details on transit exemptions. Travelers can submit an ETA application online. Once the application is approved, travelers receive their ETA confirmation electronically. An eTA is electronically linked to a passport and valid for up to 2 years for multiple entries. If travelers receive a new passport, they must apply for a new eTA.
