Frequently asked questions
Che cos’è l’ETA britannica?
L’autorizzazione elettronica di viaggio consente ai visitatori idonei di viaggiare. È collegata al passaporto e non è un visto. Restano validi i requisiti di ingresso alla frontiera.
Quanto costa l’ETA britannica?
The direct government fee is £20.00. VisaViza charges £90.00 in total: £20.00 for the government fee and £70.00 for our assistance.
Posso fare domanda direttamente tramite il governo britannico?
Sì. Puoi fare domanda tramite GOV.UK pagando solo la tariffa governativa. VisaViza è un servizio commerciale indipendente e facoltativo.
Quanto tempo richiede l’ETA britannica?
Secondo GOV.UK, la decisione arriva di solito entro un giorno, ma può richiedere fino a tre giorni lavorativi. Ulteriori controlli possono richiedere più tempo. Attendi la conferma prima di viaggiare.
How long is a UK ETA valid?
Normally two years, or until the passport used to apply expires, whichever comes first. You may make multiple journeys during that period, subject to the rules for each visit.
Does a child need an ETA?
Every eligible traveller needs their own authorisation, including children and babies. We collect guardian details for applicants under 18.
Can I apply for someone else?
Yes, with their authority or the appropriate parental or guardian authority. The online government route allows applications for someone who is not physically with you.
Does an ETA guarantee entry?
No. Border officials decide whether you may enter. An ETA does not override immigration requirements or restrictions.
Do I need an ETA for airport transit?
If you pass through UK border control, ETA or visa requirements may apply. If you remain airside without border control, an ETA is generally not required under current arrangements. Confirm your transit route with your airline.
What happens if my passport expires or changes?
An ETA cannot be transferred to a new passport. You need a new ETA linked to the passport you will travel with.
Can VisaViza make the decision faster?
No. Our service helps with preparation, review and application handling. We cannot accelerate the government decision or guarantee approval.
Is a UK ETA a visa?
No. Although people sometimes search for a “UK ETA visa”, it is a travel authorisation for eligible travellers. If your trip requires a visa, an ETA is not a substitute.
