What is a UK ETA?

An Electronic Travel Authorisation is permission to travel to the UK for eligible visitors. It is linked to the passport used to apply.

How long is an ETA valid?

An ETA is usually valid for two years, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. It allows multiple qualifying visits, usually for up to six months at a time. Different rules apply to some visit types.

How long does a decision take?

The UK Government says decisions usually arrive within a day. Allow up to three working days; some applications take longer.

Can I include children and family members?

Each traveller who requires an ETA needs their own, including babies and children. You can include up to six travellers, with separate details and documents for each person. Each traveller must meet the applicable requirements.
