UK ETA – Frequently Asked Questions

The UK ETA is a newly introduced digital travel authorization required for citizens of certain visa-exempt countries planning to visit the United Kingdom. It must be approved before arrival and is valid for entry into London, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This section addresses the most common questions related to the UK ETA, including who needs it, what documents are required, how to apply, and how long it takes. Whether you choose to apply directly through the UK government or use a support service like ours, submitting an accurate and complete application is essential to avoid delays or rejections.

START APPLICATION

The UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a digital travel clearance required for short-term visits to the United Kingdom. It is designed for citizens of certain visa-exempt countries and permits entry for tourism, business, transit, or other approved purposes. An approved ETA grants access to all parts of the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and London.

Travelers from countries that enjoy visa-free entry to the UK must apply for an ETA before traveling. This applies regardless of whether you arrive by plane, boat, or vehicle. Citizens of the United Kingdom and Ireland are exempt from this requirement. A complete list of countries whose nationals need an ETA can be found on this website.

You can apply for the UK ETA entirely online. Through our platform, the process takes just a few minutes—simply complete the application form, upload your passport, and submit payment. If you prefer to apply on your own, the UK government also offers an official application site. Please note that if you apply independently, we are unable to assist you with any part of the process.

To complete your ETA application, you will need a valid biometric passport from an eligible country. You must also upload a recent passport-style photograph, provide your personal and travel details, answer a few security-related questions, and pay the application fee using a credit or debit card.

Most applicants receive a decision within 12 to 24 hours after submission. However, some applications may require additional time depending on individual circumstances or security checks. To be safe, it’s recommended that you apply several days before your departure to the UK.

Once approved, the UK ETA is valid for up to two years, or until the passport used in the application expires—whichever comes first. During this period, you may travel to the UK multiple times, with each stay typically limited to six months. This includes travel throughout the entire United Kingdom, such as London, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The standard government fee for the UK ETA is £16 per application. When applying through our service, the total cost is £99. This includes the government fee, along with personalized support services such as 24/7 multilingual customer care, Fast-Track processing, professional application review, and a satisfaction-based money-back guarantee.

Yes, it is entirely acceptable to apply on behalf of another person. This is especially common for families or those assisting elderly or non-English-speaking travelers. To apply for someone else, you will need their passport and accurate personal details.

If your application is not approved, you won’t be permitted to enter the UK under the ETA scheme. However, you may still be eligible to apply for a standard UK visa through the proper immigration channels. While the UK authorities may provide a general reason for the refusal, detailed explanations are not always disclosed.
