About UK ETA

The UK ETA app simplifies applying for an Electronic Travel Authorisation, a requirement for many visitors to the UK. This official app guides you through each step, ensuring a smooth and secure application process. First, you'll use your Android device's NFC capability to scan your passport chip, followed by a face scan and photo. The app then prompts you to answer a few essential questions. Finally, you can securely pay for your ETA application directly within the app. The entire process should only take about 10 minutes. You'll need your passport, a compatible Android device (Android 12+ with NFC), and a valid payment method. Decisions are typically made within 3 working days, and your approved ETA is linked directly to your passport. The app prioritizes your privacy and security; no personal information is stored on your device after you close the app. Delete the app once your application is complete. Applying for a UK visa has never been easier!

Used a Galaxy A52. It took a bit of searching around the gov website to find the start of the application, but once the app was downloaded it was all smooth. Completed in about 10-15 mins, approval in 1 minute ('application submitted' to 'approved'), which I wouldn't recommend relying on, but which did make me feel welcome. The photo is DEFINITELY not flattering, but I'll probably look worse after the long-haul flight!

Easy and fast procedure. Applied for my boyfriend, my baby and I and everything went smoothly (just had to restart the app once between applications) and in 30 minutes from start to finish all three of us had our travel authorization.

Got through the whole ETA application in <5 mins, which in my experience is insanely quick for this type of gov bureaucracy. Huge fan!

Very easy to use and quick process. Only a few questions need to be completed, and the whole application was done within a few minutes. No unnecessary questions asked at all, unlike the USA ESTA. People who gave bad reviews probably didn't know how to scan their passport chip or take photos properly.

I have specifically come to Playstore to rate this App a 5 on 5. I was really skeceptic because of the other negative comments and wanted to apply via the web. However, the experience was seamless and easy. I used Samsung S 25 Ultra
