Southern Europe
Travellers from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Croatia and Slovenia do not need a UK visa for short stays. As visa-exempt EU nationals they use the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme — a £20 authorisation obtained via the UK ETA App and issued in nearly all eligible cases.
