UK’s new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme reveals price
Last week, on 6 June 2023, Border Force announced the price of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme.
The ETA scheme will apply to most visitors to the UK who do not require a visa for stays of less than six months and who do not have any other immigration status prior to travelling.
An ETA will cost £10 per applicant when the scheme opens for nationals from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan at the end of this year and the beginning of next year.
You can apply for yourself and on behalf of others on the UK ETA app, or online on GOV.UK. Each traveller must get their own ETA, including children and babies. A decision will usually be made within 3 working days, but you may get a quicker decision. If further checks need to be made the wait may be longer.
For more information and regular updates on ETAs, please visit Gov.uk’s ETA information page.
