What is the UK ETA?
The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is a digital permission to travel that visa-exempt visitors need before entering the United Kingdom. It is electronically linked to your passport — there is no sticker or stamp.
An ETA lets you visit the UK for tourism, business, study, or transit for up to six months per stay. It is valid for two years and covers multiple trips, so you only apply once.
