UK ETA – Frequently Asked Questions

The UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a newly introduced digital entry permit required for travelers from certain countries visiting the UK. Below, we address common queries to help you understand the eligibility, application process, and requirements. You can apply either via the official UK government portal or through our dedicated service for extra assistance.

START APPLICATION

The UK ETA is a mandatory electronic authorization required for travelers from eligible visa-exempt countries before entering the United Kingdom. It facilitates short-term visits such as tourism, business meetings, or transit without needing a traditional visa. Note that UK and Irish nationals are exempt from this requirement.

Travelers holding passports from countries that currently do not require a visa for UK entry must obtain an ETA before their journey. This applies to arrivals by air, sea, or land. Citizens of the UK and Ireland are exempt. The complete list of eligible countries can be found on the official government website.

You may complete your UK ETA application online through our secure platform at https://uk-eta.www.etastravel.com/en/uk-eta-application/step1/. The process involves providing personal and travel details, uploading a valid passport scan, and paying the applicable fees. The entire process usually takes just a few minutes. Alternatively, you can apply directly via the official UK government website, but please be aware that no support will be provided for that option.

Applicants need a valid biometric passport from an eligible country, a recent digital passport-style photograph, and a valid payment method such as a credit or debit card. You will also be required to provide travel details, personal identification information, and answer basic security questions as part of the eligibility screening.

Most applications are processed within 12 to 24 hours, although some may take longer depending on individual circumstances or additional checks. We strongly recommend applying well in advance of your planned travel date to avoid any delays.

A UK ETA is typically valid for two years or until the passport used during the application expires—whichever occurs first. Within this validity period, travelers may enter the UK multiple times, with each visit usually permitted for stays up to six months.

The official UK government fee for a UK ETA is £16 per application. If you choose to apply through our service, the total cost is £99. This fee covers the government charge plus additional benefits such as expedited processing, comprehensive customer support available 24/7 in multiple languages, application review by experts, and a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the service.

Yes, you can apply on behalf of another person, such as a family member or traveling companion. You must have access to their valid passport details and all required personal information to ensure the application is accurate and complete.

If your UK ETA application is denied, you will not be permitted to travel to the UK using this authorization. In such cases, you may need to apply for a standard UK visa through the traditional visa application process. The refusal notice may only provide limited reasons, and detailed explanations are not always given. If you have concerns, consulting with an immigration expert or legal advisor is recommended.
