Frequently asked questions
Citizens from 'non-visa national' countries (such as the US, Australia, and EU nations) require a UK ETA. If you are from a 'visa national' country, you must still apply for a Standard Visitor Visa. Important: British and Irish citizens do not need an ETA. If you hold a valid UK visa or EUSS status, you are also exempt.
The authorization is digitally linked to your passport. Once approved, you will receive an email confirmation. There is no physical sticker. However, it is highly recommended to keep a digital copy on your phone or a printout, as carriers will verify your permission to travel before you board.
You can stay for up to 180 days (6 months) per visit. The ETA itself is valid for two years (or until your passport expires), allowing for multiple entries during that period.
Official UK government guidance advises allowing up to 3 working days in case an application needs a manual review.
Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual ETA. You can manage applications for your entire family together in one session on the iVisa platform.
Yes, if you pass through UK Border Control. Eligible visitors on connecting flights who clear passport control, for example to change airports or collect baggage, must have an ETA. As of 2026, airside transit passengers at specific airports like Heathrow who do not pass through border control may not need one, but rules can change, so check the latest transit requirements before booking.
If denied, you cannot board your flight. You will receive a notification from the Home Office. You may be able to re-apply if the denial was due to a simple typo. However, if the refusal was based on suitability or criminal history, you may need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa instead. iVisa offers denial protection to support you in these cases.
The most common reasons include uploading a photo that doesn't meet standards, providing an incorrect passport number, or failing to disclose relevant history. iVisa's experts check these details specifically to prevent rejections.
No. An ETA cannot be extended. If you wish to stay longer than 6 months or change your status to work or study, you must apply for a specific visa from outside the country.
One traveler pays from $129.99. Includes $28.00 in government fees. Faster processing costs more, and every option is priced above.
