UK ETA – Frequently Asked Questions

The UK ETA is a newly introduced digital travel authorization required for visitors from certain visa-exempt countries. It must be obtained before traveling to the United Kingdom. This section provides helpful answers about eligibility, required documents, processing times, and the application process. Whether you choose to apply through the UK government or use a support service like ours, it’s important to ensure your application is accurate and complete.

START APPLICATION

The UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a new digital entry requirement for travelers from visa-exempt countries. It permits eligible individuals to visit the United Kingdom for short stays—such as tourism, business, or transit—without the need for a traditional visa.

An ETA is required for travelers from countries that currently enjoy visa-free access to the UK. This applies to passengers arriving by air, land, or sea. UK and Irish citizens are exempt. You can find the complete list of eligible countries on this page.

You can apply online by filling out a digital application form. Apply here: https://uk-eta.www.etastravel.com/en/uk-eta-application/step1/. The process takes just a few minutes and involves submitting personal and travel details, uploading your passport, and paying the application fee. You may also apply directly via the UK government website, but please note that we cannot provide support if you choose that route.

To apply for a UK ETA, you’ll need: a valid biometric passport from an eligible country, a recent digital passport-style photograph, basic personal details, travel itinerary, answers to security and eligibility questions, and a credit card for payment.

Most applications are processed within 12 to 24 hours, although processing times can vary. We recommend applying at least a few days before your intended travel date to account for any unexpected delays or additional document checks.

An approved ETA is generally valid for two years, or until your passport expires—whichever comes first. It allows for multiple entries to the UK, with each stay typically limited to up to 6 months.

The official UK government fee is £16 per application. If you apply through our website, the total cost is £99, which includes: the UK government fee, 24/7 customer support in multiple languages, Fast-Track processing, application review and correction assistance, and money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied. Our service is optional and ideal for travelers seeking expert guidance, added convenience, and peace of mind.

Yes, you can apply for a UK ETA on behalf of another traveler—such as a family member, child, or travel companion. You’ll need access to their passport information and personal details to complete the application correctly.

If your application is refused, you will not be permitted to travel to the UK under the ETA scheme. In most cases, you may still be eligible to apply for a standard visa through the UK Visas and Immigration system. While the ETA denial notice may outline general reasons, specific details are not always provided.
