Apply for your United Kingdom visa online

You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

According to the information available on the official government website, individuals with dual British or Irish citizenship do not need an ETA. If you hold a valid British or Irish passport, you may enter the UK. If your passport has expired, please contact the nearest embassy or consulate to renew it.

No, unless you are doing a permitted paid engagement in the United Kingdom or event/work on the Creative Worker visa concession.

To proceed with a UK ETA, you will be asked to provide a colour copy of the passport page with your photo and personal details – the copy must be clear and well-lit. We also require a recent photo of the applicant (it can be taken with a phone). Make sure all passport details are clearly visible – blurry or overexposed images may be rejected by the immigration office.

The general processing time is 19 hours. However, UK ETA applications submitted on our website also undergo checks by our specialists, which may take some additional time.

To check the status of your application, you need a Passporta account. Please use this link to log in to your existing profile or create a new one.

You may verify the validity of your ETA using the “Check your ETA” tool on the UK government website. Simply enter your nationality, passport number, passport expiry date, and date of birth. If your application has been successfully finalized, you will see the exact validity date of your UK ETA.

Once your application status shows "Finished", the ETA will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

The result of the ETA to the United Kingdom will be delivered to the applicant's inbox. The document comes as a PDF file.

If you applied with Passporta and hold citizenship of one of the countries listed above, then you have applied for the correct document. It is not a traditional visa but an electronic authorization required for travel. The UK ETA is issued as a multiple-entry authorisation and remains valid for 2 years from approval or until your passport expires (whichever comes first).

Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the UK ETA. In this case, you should contact the nearest British embassy or consulate to apply for a traditional visa.
