UK ETA Visa
Apply for United Kingdom ETA Visa
Important Information
- All visa-exempt travelers, including minors, must obtain a UK ETA. British and Irish citizens, as well as travelers holding a valid UK visa or residence permit, do not require an ETA.
- Most applications are approved within 3 business days. We recommend applying at least one week before your planned travel to avoid delays.
- The ETA is a digital authorization required for visa-exempt travelers, including citizens from the United States, Canada, Australia, and European Union member states. It allows stays of up to 6 months for tourism, business, short-term studies, or visiting friends and family. The ETA is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Who needs to apply for a UK ETA?
If you’re planning to visit the UK and you’re from a visa-exempt country, you’ll likely need an ETA. This requirement does not apply to British or Irish citizens.
How long is the ETA valid?
Your UK ETA remains valid for up to 2 years or until your passport expires—whichever comes first.
Can I work or study in the UK with an ETA?
The ETA is designed for short visits—tourism, family visits, short-term business or study. It doesn’t authorize long-term work or academic programs.
What if my ETA application is refused?
In case your request is denied, you’ll need to apply for a standard UK visa. You’ll be informed of the reason, and once the issue is resolved, you may reapply.
Required Documents for Application
To complete your ETA application, you’ll only need a valid passport, a recent digital photo, and a credit or debit card for the processing fee. At Global Migration Advisors, we make sure everything is clear and simple—no unnecessary paperwork or complications.
Intermediary Service Fees
While the UK ETA has a fee of £16.00 if submitted directly through the official system, Global Migration Advisors provides professional assistance to travelers who need help completing the process for US$70.
We ensure that your information is correctly submitted and valid upon arrival, avoiding potential delays at immigration.
What Travelers Receive After Submitting Their Information
When you submit your UK ETA , you will receive a confirmation email, including a reference number. You do not need to print this confirmation, as the data is linked to your passport electronically. However, keeping a screenshot of the confirmation email is recommended.
For travelers who prefer expert assistance, Global Migration Advisors ensures accurate and timely submissions, minimizing the risk of errors or expiration before arrival.
