U.S. citizens will soon have to apply for permission before their United Kingdom trips and pay a small fee to enter as part of the country's upcoming Electronic Travel Authorization scheme.

The ETA scheme is meant to secure the U.K.'s borders by giving them more accurate data on who is passing through, according to a U.K. official for the British Consulate General. The move is part of the U.K.'s plan to fully digitize its borders by 2025.

    2. @Dr.Blast__27 We have to sign up for an ESTA for travel to the US, same system being implemented in the UK that you want to pull funding for

  1. I love the grounded reality of this channel!!,Despite the recession, I’m so happy withdrawing my *$94k* profits out of my investment with a platform in town.

    1. @Ayon Bhuiyan Thanks I just texted him now and he replied up, tell him you referred me to him, Thanks a lot dude.

    2. I can sincerely say he’s one of the best Traders I have ever seen in the state in the past few years, now cutting losses and ensuring profits..

    3. Hey guys thanks a lot, you just saved me from crypto loss by recommending such a successful and a legit broker in the United States.

    1. If you’re asking why Americans need to apply for ETA to travel to the UK, Europe, etc., the US has been doing this to all visa free countries including British Citizens and alike. Nothing to do with wether a country is considered dangerous or not. The UK ETA will apply to all EU citizens and citizens from visa-free countries visiting the UK, most of which I’d say are not dangerous countries with dangerous people.

    2. @Al Bert I thought It might have something to do with reading this off the Internet…How does the US compare to other countries for crime rate?
      The U.S. homicide rate was 10.5-7.9 per 100,000 population compared to Europe’s less than 2 per 100,000. The U.S. rate for rape was approximately seven times higher than the average for Europe. United States robbery rates were approximately four times higher than those in Europe.
      Are you saying that Europeans still Love Americans?

  2. When it comes to the world of investing,most people don’t know where to start. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.
