About ETA for UK
UK ETA Travel Assistance — Guided Application Support for Your UK Entry.
Apply for your official UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) safely, quickly, and from anywhere in the world — directly from your phone.
WHAT IS A UK ETA?
The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a mandatory digital travel permit for eligible visa-exempt travellers entering the United Kingdom. If you're planning UK entry for tourism, business, or transit and don't hold a UK visa, you likely need a valid ETA linked to your passport.
For official UK ETA information, visit the UK Government website:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This app is an independent assistance service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the UK Government or the Home Office. The official UK ETA scheme is managed by His Majesty's Government (www.gov.uk).
We provide guidance and form assistance only — final ETA decisions are made exclusively by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). We are not responsible for the application outcome (approved or rejected) and take no responsibility for any financial losses due to late or no approval.
KEY APP FEATURES
✓ Step-by-step guided application form
✓ Real-time photo quality validation (blur, face detection, document check)
✓ Secure payment via Stripe (credit card & Google Pay supported)
✓ Email OTP verification for added security
✓ Photo update feature — update your passport or selfie photo after
submission using a secure one-time token
✓ Multilingual support: 16 languages
✓ GDPR compliant — your personal data is protected and automatically deleted after processing
✓ No account creation required
✓ Real human support for eligibility and application questions
✓ Fast processing support and status tracking
HOW IT WORKS
1. Start the app, pick your language and check your UK ETA eligibility
2. Complete the guided form with your passport, a selfie and your travel details. You can apply on behalf of other people if you have their consent
3. Pay and submit your application securely
4. We review your documents for common errors
5. You will receive your travel authorisation status via email
WHO NEEDS A UK ETA?
Most visa-exempt travellers visiting the UK for tourism, family visits, business, or transit now need a valid ETA before departure — including nationals from countries whose citizens previously needed no advance permission. Check your eligibility in the app first.
COSTS AND PROCESSING TIME
Official UK ETA applications carry a government fee, with processing normally fast, though some cases need further review. Our service adds a fee for guided support, document checking, and application help, on top of the government fee. Please apply well in advance of your travel plans.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
We comply fully with the UK GDPR and EU GDPR regulations.
