• WAGGA WAGGA, RIVERINA
It is the responsibility of all delegates to ensure they hold the correct entry documentation and a valid passport prior to traveling to the United Kingdom (UK).
Visas
Depending on your nationality, you may require a standard visa to enter the UK. Please verify your specific entry requirements via the official UK Government visa checkpoint well ahead of your departure.
New UK entry requirements & ETA
For delegates who usually travel visa-free (including Australians and eligible non-EU nationals), the UK’s new ETA program is progressively rolling out globally. An ETA is digitally linked to your passport and permits travel to the UK for up to 6 months per visit.
Please check your eligibility and apply via the official UK Visa Portal or the UK ETA mobile app well ahead of your departure. (Note: Dual British or Irish citizens cannot apply for an ETA and must enter the UK using their valid British or Irish passport).
Passport validity
Before entering the UK, ensure your passport is valid for the entirety of your planned stay. Whether you are entering under a standard visa-free framework, an ETA, or a specific visa program, ensure you understand all relevant terms and conditions before attempting to travel.
Stay informed
Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. We highly recommend following the official guidance of the UK Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration leading up to your trip. We also advise keeping up to date with the latest travel alerts and advice on the Australian Government's Smarttraveller website.
Travel insurance & health
All delegates are strongly encouraged to secure comprehensive international travel insurance for the duration of their journey to cover unexpected medical expenses, as healthcare access conditions vary depending on your country of origin.
Local public transport updates
Regular, planned strikes can occasionally occur across the UK public transport networks and health services. We highly recommend monitoring Transport for London (TfL) or National Rail for live updates during your stay to help you plan your movements around the city seamlessly.
