Common Questions About the UK ETA

The UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a new mandatory entry requirement for specific travelers heading to the United Kingdom. This section provides clear answers to important questions, helping you understand who must obtain an ETA, the application process, and the necessary documents. You can apply directly through the official UK government website or opt for a third-party service for additional guidance and support.

START APPLICATION

The UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a recently introduced entry requirement for travelers exempt from visa restrictions visiting the UK. It allows eligible visitors to enter for short durations—such as tourism, business trips, or transit—without the need to obtain a traditional visa beforehand.

Travelers from countries eligible for visa-free entry to the UK are required to secure a UK ETA before their trip. This applies to those arriving by air, sea, or land. Citizens of the UK and Ireland are exempt from this requirement. You can find the full list of eligible countries on this page.

You can apply online by completing the digital application form available on our website: https://uk-eta.www.etastravel.com/en/uk-eta-application/step1/. The process involves submitting your personal details, travel information, uploading a valid passport scan, and paying the application fee. Most applicants complete this in just a few minutes. Alternatively, applications can be made through the official UK government portal, but please note that we are unable to provide support for applications submitted via that route.

You will need a valid biometric passport issued by an eligible country, a recent digital photo that meets passport standards, and a debit or credit card for paying the application fee. Additionally, you must provide personal data, travel plans, and answer basic questions regarding security and eligibility.

Most UK ETA applications are reviewed and approved within 12 to 24 hours. Processing times may vary depending on individual circumstances, so it’s advisable to apply several days before your planned travel date to avoid delays.

A UK ETA is generally valid for two years or until the passport you used for the application expires, whichever comes first. During its validity, travelers can make multiple entries to the UK, with each visit usually permitted for up to six months.

The official UK government fee for the Electronic Travel Authorization is £16 per application. When applying via our website, the total cost is £99, which includes the government fee plus additional services not available through the official site. Our service offers fast-track processing, 24/7 multilingual customer support, expert application assistance, and a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied.

Yes, applications can be submitted on behalf of another person, such as a family member or travel companion. You will need access to their passport information and personal details to complete the application correctly.

If your application for a UK ETA is refused, you will not be permitted to board your flight to the UK. In such cases, you may need to apply for a traditional visa through the UK visa system. The refusal notice may give general reasons, but detailed explanations are not always provided.
