UK ETA price: understanding the different fees
An ETA application may involve the official UK fee and, if you choose an intermediary, a separate charge for private assistance.
Information checked against official GOV.UK resources.
What is the official ETA fee?
At the date this page was updated, the UK government states that an official ETA application costs £20. This is payable for each application and is non-refundable after submission.
The official fee can change. Check the current amount when applying.
Why do some websites charge more?
Private companies may offer a separate service, such as help with the form, consistency checks, assistance or follow-up. Their price is not just the government fee.
Our website is an independent private service, unaffiliated with the UK government. You may also apply directly through the official UK services.
Does the price affect decision time?
The UK government states that another website or app cannot obtain a faster decision. Assistance supports the application process; it does not provide priority processing by the authorities.
Always distinguish the official ETA fee from any private assistance charge.
