Who it's for
Travelers from nationalities that can visit the UK without a visa, such as the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, and most of the EU. British and Irish citizens do not need one, and holders of a valid UK visa or EUSS status are also exempt.
Permitted activities
Tourism, visiting family and friends, business, transit, and short-term study. It covers short visits rather than living, working long-term, or settling in the UK.
Duration and entries
The ETA is a multiple-entry authorization valid for two years, or until your passport expires, so you can travel to the UK several times during that period.
Transit through the UK
You need an ETA if you change flights in the UK and pass through passport control. You do not need one to transit airside without passing through passport control.
Delivery format
The ETA is digitally linked to your passport, so there is no physical sticker. You receive an email confirmation once approved, and carriers verify it before you board.
