UK eTA

The United Kingdom gives the opportunity to citizens of various countries to visit the country through an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). This authorisation allows eligible travellers to stay in the UK for up to 180 consecutive days.

Regardless of the purpose of your visit, whether it is for tourism, visiting family or friends, business, or short-term study, citizens of eligible countries can conveniently apply for the UK eTA online. 

There is no need to visit an embassy or consulate. The eTA remains valid for two (2) years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, and allows multiple entries during its validity period.

Our team of experienced visa consultants works around the clock to ensure that your application is free of errors. If any issues are found, we will contact you immediately to make the necessary corrections. This careful approach contributes to a high visa approval rate.

Once your online eTA application is submitted, it is typically processed and approved within an estimated 1 to 36 working hours. The approved eTA will be sent to you via email.
