How to apply for a UK ETA online

Prepare your documents, check the information carefully and understand the steps before submitting your UK ETA application.

Information checked against official GOV.UK resources.

Prepare the passport and photo

Apply with the passport you will use to travel. A facial photo of the applicant is also required.

When applying online for someone who is not with you, you need a photo of their passport and a facial photo.

Email and payment

An email address is needed for communications and the decision. The official process accepts payment methods including cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The official fee is payable for each application and non-refundable once submitted.

Apply with our assistance in English

On our website, start with essential details and payment for the service. Then complete your application with the requested information and documents. Our team checks consistency before processing.

You can also apply directly through the official UK services. Our assistance is independent and does not obtain priority decisions.

After submitting the application

The decision arrives by email. The UK service says it generally arrives within a day, though processing may take up to three working days and sometimes longer if additional review is needed.

An approved ETA is electronically linked to the passport: no separate paper authorisation needs to be presented when travelling with that passport.

Key points

Check identity and passport number carefully before submission: an error may require a new application.
