The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a mandatory digital entry
system introduced to streamline the process of traveling to the United
Kingdom, making the journey more efficient, secure, and convenient. Most
visitors from visa-exempt countries—regardless of the purpose of
travel—must apply for an ETA online before arriving in the UK.
This digital requirement is part of the UK government's broader initiative to modernize border control, improve traveler screening, and reduce wait times at immigration checkpoints. Whether you're visiting for tourism, business, short-term study, or to reconnect with family and friends, the UK ETA ensures that essential personal and travel information is submitted in advance for a smoother arrival experience.
From exploring the historic landmarks of London to discovering the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands or enjoying the cultural richness of Wales and Northern Ireland, obtaining a UK ETA is a key step in preparing for your visit to the United Kingdom.
The British pound sterling (GBP) is the official currency of the United Kingdom. Its symbol is £, and it is commonly referred to as “pound” or “quid” in informal use. It is one of the oldest currencies still in use, dating back to the 8th century.
English is the official and most widely spoken language in the UK. Other recognized regional languages include Welsh (in Wales), Scottish Gaelic and Scots (in Scotland), and Irish and Ulster Scots (in Northern Ireland). Multilingualism is common in urban areas due to the UK’s diverse population.

Example of a UK eTA Confirmation Email (for reference only)
Once submitted, all UK eTA applications are reviewed by the UK authorities. Applicants are notified directly of the official decision by email. Our role is limited to assisting with the application process.
If the eTA is approved, it will be electronically linked to the traveler’s passport by the UK authorities. An official confirmation is sent by email. Border agents can verify the authorization electronically upon arrival. The eTA is typically valid for two years, or until the passport expires — whichever comes first — and allows multiple visits of up to six months each.
If an application is not approved, the applicant will receive an email notification from the UK authorities. Reasons may include ineligibility, incorrect information, or security concerns. In such cases, travelers may still have the option to apply for a standard visa, depending on the purpose and duration of their stay.
We help travelers complete the UK ETA quickly and accurately. All submissions are reviewed and approved solely by the United Kingdom’s immigration authorities.
