Process

Applying for a UK ETA: process and processing time

No form with eighty fields on a single page. A guided application that you can pause and continue later – reviewed by our caseworkers instead of pure self-service. Alternatively, you can apply directly on gov.uk without our service fee.

  1. 1

    Order

    Check your nationality, choose your package, create an account. Your application is then in your customer portal.

  2. 2

    Details & documents

    Passport, facial photo, trip and questions about criminal records and immigration history – guided, saveable, can be paused at any time.

  3. 3

    Payment of the total price

    You pay one total price to us only – for review and support. The official fee (£20) is included and shown separately; we pay it to the Home Office for you.

  4. 4

    Review by our caseworkers

    Our caseworkers check completeness and typical errors. Queries appear in your account.

  5. 5

    The Home Office decides

    According to gov.uk, the decision usually comes within one day but can take up to three working days – separately from our status. Allow at least three working days before departure.
