Frequently asked questions

Who needs a UK ETA?

Visitors who do not need a visa for short trips to the UK, for example citizens of the USA, Canada, Australia and EU countries, need an ETA before they travel. British and Irish citizens do not, and neither does anyone who already holds a UK visa or permission to live, work or study in the UK.

How long is an ETA valid?

Two years, or until your passport expires if that is sooner. It covers multiple visits of up to 6 months each.

What does the £49 include?

Everything: the Home Office ETA fee, a consultant checking your answers and photo, submitting the application for you, and tracking it to a decision.

Does an ETA guarantee entry?

No. It gives you permission to travel. Border Force still decides at the border, so bring what you would for any visit.

What if I get a new passport?

An ETA is linked to the passport you applied with. A new passport needs a new ETA.
