WHAT IS A UK ETA?
The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a mandatory digital travel permit for eligible visa-exempt travellers entering the United Kingdom. If you're planning UK entry for tourism, business, or transit and don't hold a UK visa, you likely need a valid ETA linked to your passport.

For official UK ETA information, visit the UK Government website:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This app is an independent assistance service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the UK Government or the Home Office. The official UK ETA scheme is managed by His Majesty's Government (www.gov.uk).

We provide guidance and form assistance only — final ETA decisions are made exclusively by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). We are not responsible for the application outcome (approved or rejected) and take no responsibility for any financial losses due to late or no approval.

WHO NEEDS A UK ETA?
Most visa-exempt travellers visiting the UK for tourism, family visits, business, or transit now need a valid ETA before departure — including nationals from countries whose citizens previously needed no advance permission. Check your eligibility in the app first.

COSTS AND PROCESSING TIME
Official UK ETA applications carry a government fee, with processing normally fast, though some cases need further review. Our service adds a fee for guided support, document checking, and application help, on top of the government fee. Please apply well in advance of your travel plans.

PRIVACY & SECURITY
We comply fully with the UK GDPR and EU GDPR regulations.

FAQ

Do I need a UK ETA?
If you're visa-exempt, visiting the UK for tourism, business, family visits, or transit, and don't hold a UK visa, you likely need a valid ETA. Check your eligibility in the app.

Photo requirements for a UK ETA application?
A clear, recent photo of yourself against a plain light background, no sunglasses/hats/filters, full face visible — plus a clear photo of your passport's photo page, all corners visible, no glare or blur. We check both before submission.

How can I check my application status?
Check our emails on approval, review, or requests for more information.

How long does processing take?
Most applications process quickly, though timing can vary if further review is needed. Apply well before your travel date.

Can I apply for family members with one application?
Each traveller, including children, needs a separate ETA linked to their own passport. Complete multiple applications easily, one per family member.

Is my data safe?
Yes. Full privacy details on our website.
