UK, Here I Come!
In April 2025, the UK's gonna require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for visitors who previously didn't need a visa - yep, that's you Euro, US, Aussie, and Canadian mates! This digital pass is your ticket to tourism, business, or study for up to six months, and it must be sorted before you board your plane. Digital visas are also on the rise, replacing the physically hard-copy Biometric Residence Permits by June 2025. 📱💔
USA: My Stomping Ground
Most travelers from visa-exempt countries (like those in the Visa Waiver Program) need to complete an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before jetting off to the US. Hold up, lots of folks from non-exempt countries still gotta grab a visa. And, y'all gotta get your passport game strong, it should last for your trip's duration, and you might face some extra security checks upon landing. 🛬🛠️

- When it comes to planning for a future filled with travel and vocational training, one should send off applications for various programs well in advance, as getting accepted into such opportunities can take some time.
- By 2024, individuals who have completed extensive vocational training, especially in EC countries, may find themselves well-equipped to explore new lifestyles and travel opportunities in places such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or Thailand.
