Find answers to common questions about UK ETA applications
A UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a digital travel permit required for visa-exempt nationals visiting the UK for tourism, business, transit, or short-term study purposes. It's linked electronically to your passport and valid for multiple entries over 2 years or until your passport expires.
Most UK ETA applications are processed within 24-72 hours. However, processing times may vary depending on individual circumstances. We offer expedited services for urgent travel needs. You'll receive email notifications about your application status throughout the process.
You'll need a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), a recent digital photo, and payment information. Some applicants may need additional supporting documents depending on their travel history and circumstances. Our team will guide you through the specific requirements for your situation.

Your approved ETA will be sent electronically to the email address you provided during application. It's linked to your passport electronically, so you don't need to print anything, but we recommend keeping a copy for your records.
