UK Revokes Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s ETA, Citing ‘Not Conducive to the Public Good’

The Home Office issued a no-appeal cancellation under rules that permit revoking travel authorizations based on a person’s character, conduct or associations.

GALLARATE, ITALY - MAY 17: Dutch right-wing political commentator and activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek delivers a speech during the first "Remigration Summit" at Teatro Condominio on May 17, 2025 in Gallarate, Italy. Far-right activists from extremist groups across Europe are convening for a controversial summit to define and discuss 'remigration,' a concept often associated with xenophobic and racist viewpoints, which advocates for the large-scale repatriation or deportation of immigrants and individuals with immigrant backgrounds to their countries of origin. The summit has drawn strong condemnation from groups opposed to what they view as a hateful agenda. (Photo by Emanuele Cremaschi/Getty Images)

Overview

  • Her Electronic Travel Authorization was canceled effective Jan. 13, 2026, with officials stating she cannot travel to the UK without a visa and has no right to appeal.
  • Vlaardingerbroek links the timing to a Jan. 9 post criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, though the Home Office has not provided a detailed public explanation beyond the stated standard.
  • Coverage places the decision alongside the government’s dispute with X over Grok, as Ofcom investigates and ministers signal readiness for enforcement under the Online Safety Act.
  • The Dutch commentator previously spoke at Tommy Robinson’s September rally and said she had discussed appearing at another event in May.
  • Reactions include criticism from US public diplomacy official Sarah Rogers calling such restrictions opaque, with UK figures like Liz Truss also condemning the move while the Home Office declined further comment.
