UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation, known as the ETA, is a mandatory digital travel authorisation for eligible travellers visiting the United Kingdom for short stays. It applies to travellers visiting the UK for tourism, short business activities, visiting family or friends, or transiting through the UK where border control is passed.
The ETA is not a visa. It is a travel permission required for nationals of visa-exempt countries and must be approved before boarding travel to the United Kingdom. Eligible travellers must hold a valid ETA to travel to the UK. Approval of an ETA does not guarantee entry. UK Border Force officers make the final decision on entry at the border.

No. We are an independent service provider offering application assistance for UK ETA applications.
A UK Electronic Travel Authorisation, known as a UK ETA, is a mandatory digital travel permission required for certain travellers visiting the United Kingdom for short stays. It applies to visits for tourism, permitted business activities, short study, or transit. The ETA must be approved before travel and is electronically linked to the traveller’s passport.
Travellers who do not normally need a visa for short visits to the UK may be required to obtain a UK ETA before travelling. This includes nationals of visa-exempt countries and must be approved before boarding travel to the UK.
You do not need a UK ETA if you are a British or Irish citizen, or if you already hold a valid UK visa or UK residence permission. Whether an ETA is required depends on nationality, immigration status, and the purpose of your travel.
A UK ETA is valid for multiple journeys over a period of up to two(2) years, or until the passport used in the application expires, whichever occurs first. Each visit normally allows a stay of up to six(6) months, subject to UK immigration rules and entry conditions.
No. A UK ETA allows you to travel to the United Kingdom, but it does not guarantee entry. Final entry decisions are made by UK border officials on arrival.
