You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The permit is required for travellers from countries like the US, Canada and Australia starting 8 January 2025.

Everyone travelling needs to apply including babies and children, but you can apply for other people. Download the ETA app from the UK government website.

Considering most applicants will get a decision within three days, it can be assumed you should apply at least three ahead of travelling to the UK, though you can do it much further in advance of course.

An ETA lasts for two years. You do not need to apply again during this time.

You can travel to the UK as many times as you want during the period of validity but you not stay for longer than six months on one trip. Check the UK government website for more details on what you can and can not do on an ETA.

The ETA is only intended for short stays of up to six months.

The ETA costs 10 pounds (US$12.50) per person, regardless of age, and is valid for two years, allowing for multiple entries into the UK within that timeframe. Visitors will also be permitted to stay in the UK for six months, whether for business or tourism purposes.
