UK ETA – Frequently Asked Questions

The UK ETA is a new digital entry permit introduced by the British government for travelers from select visa-exempt countries. Approval must be obtained before arrival and is required for visits to London and the wider UK, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This section answers common questions about the UK ETA—such as who needs it, what documents you’ll need, how to apply, and how long the process takes. Whether you decide to apply independently through the UK government or use a support service like ETAS Travel, ensuring the accuracy of your application is crucial to prevent delays or denial.

START APPLICATION

The UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a digital document that grants eligible travelers entry into the United Kingdom, including London. If you’re visiting the capital for tourism, a business trip, or even a short stopover, you’ll need to obtain an approved ETA before your journey—unless you’re a UK or Irish citizen. The ETA covers entry to all parts of the UK, but many travelers use it specifically to explore London’s world-famous landmarks, museums, shopping districts, and historical sites.

Citizens from visa-exempt countries are required to apply for a UK ETA before traveling to London or any other part of the United Kingdom. This includes visitors arriving by air, sea, or land. UK and Irish nationals are not required to apply. You can find the list of eligible nationalities that need an ETA on our website.

You can apply for the UK ETA online through our secure platform, which offers step-by-step guidance, multilingual support, and expert review of your information. The process takes just a few minutes. Once approved, your ETA allows you to travel to London and the rest of the UK. If you prefer, you can also apply through the official UK government site, although our team will not be able to assist you if you use that option.

To apply for an ETA, you’ll need a valid biometric passport from an eligible country, a digital passport-style photo, your travel plans (such as your arrival in London), answers to security questions, and a valid payment method to cover the application fee.

Most travelers receive approval within 12 to 24 hours, though processing times may vary depending on individual circumstances. To ensure a smooth trip to London, it’s best to apply several days in advance of your departure.

Yes. Once issued, the UK ETA remains valid for up to two years or until your passport expires—whichever comes first. You can use the same ETA to visit London and other parts of the UK multiple times, as long as each stay does not exceed six months.

The official UK government charges £16 for each ETA. If you apply through our website, the total fee is £99, which includes the government charge and additional benefits such as application review, Fast-Track processing, multilingual support, and a money-back guarantee. Many travelers choose our service for peace of mind, especially when planning trips to a busy destination like London.

Yes, you can submit an application on behalf of another person, whether it’s a friend, child, or family member. You’ll need their passport and personal details to complete the form accurately.

If your application is refused, you won’t be allowed to travel to London—or any part of the UK—under the ETA system. In such cases, you may still be eligible to apply for a full visa through the UK Visas and Immigration process. While you might receive a general explanation, specific reasons for denial are not always provided.
