Visitors to the UK will have to answer tough security questions to enter the country as part of border reforms.
The UK is to introduce an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme for visitors from certain countries in October. The scheme will be extended worldwide next year.
Visitors from Qatar will be the first to be subject to the new rules, followed by Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan from February. The Home Office said the scheme “will strengthen security at the border and improve travel for visitors to the UK”.
