About the United Kingdom ETA
The United Kingdom ETA is an Electronic Travel Authorization for travellers who wish to visit the country for stays of up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family and friends, business activities or to study.
You can also come to the UK for up to 3 months on the Creative Worker Visa concession on the United Kingdom ETA. It's also necessary to transit through the UK, including if you're not going through UK border control.
The United Kingdom ETA is granted through an online application system. It was introduced to simplify visa processes for citizens of eligible countries who want to travel for short-term stays.
Once approved, the United Kingdom ETA is valid for a total of 2 years, or until the associated passport expires. It allows the holder to visit the UK multiple times during its validity.
