You need to get an Electronic Travel Authorization for entry to the United Kingdom beginning January 8th, 2025. The Electronic Travel Authorization costs £20 for 2 years. Transiting through the UK does not require an ETA as long as you stay airside; however, if you decide to pass through UK border control, you will need one. There are a lot of scammy sites that sell them for more than the £20 that you can get directly from the UK Government.
