Get your UK ETA before it’s too late: Apply now

Hello Carlos,

We offer many visas to other countries if you're looking for requirements and support for different countries, but specifically for the United Kingdom, as a Spanish passport holder, you will need to apply for a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before traveling to the UK, even if you're returning for a short visit.

This applies to most EU nationals as of 2025. The ETA is valid for multiple entries over two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay, and national ID cards are no longer accepted for entry,you must travel with your Spanish passport. If you're ready to get started on your application, you can do so on our platform quickly and hassle-free.

Hi Rebecca,

The UK ETA is linked electronically to your passport, so there’s no need to download a physical visa. That said, you should have received a confirmation email with your approval details. If you can’t find it, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.

If you applied through iVisa, send us an email, and we will follow up as soon as possible.

Hi Tina,

If you previously applied for a UK ETA, there’s no physical document to retrieve as it's electronically linked to the passport you used during the application. However, you should have received a confirmation email at the time of approval, which includes your ETA details. Please check your inbox (including spam or junk folders) for that email.

If you applied through iVisa and can’t locate the confirmation, feel free to reach out to our support team

Hello George,

Since your UK ETA is electronically linked to your old passport, and you've received a new one, you’ll need to apply for a new UK ETA using your updated passport details.

We make it easy to get your UK ETA with our team of experts that are available 24/7. You can get started here on our platform to get your UK ETA easy and hassle-free.

Hi Stephen,

Yes, to apply for a UK ETA, a scan or clear photo of your passport is required. Unlike the US ESTA, where you only enter your passport details manually, the UK ETA application process involves uploading a photo of the passport’s bio page and a recent photo.

Check out our application page if you're ready to fill out your UK ETA application with our experts and 24/7 assistance.

Hello Dolores,

If you applied for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) visa, it's electronically linked to your passport, so you don’t need to print a physical visa. However, keeping a copy of the confirmation email with your ETA reference number is a good idea just in case the airline or immigration asks for it.

You can print the email or download the attached PDF (if provided) using your ETA reference number as a reference. If you applied for the ETA using iVisa and didn’t receive the confirmation email, check your spam/junk folder or let us know, and we’ll resend it to you right away.

Hello Harvey,

If you're a U.S. citizen transiting through London on your return from Switzerland, you do not need a UK ETA as long as you remain in the airport's airside transit area and do not pass through UK border control.

However, if your connection requires you to exit immigration, for example, to change terminals or re-check luggage, you will need to apply for an ETA in advance. The ETA is valid for multiple visits over two years and is linked to your passport and should you end up having plans to change terminals or leave the airport, you can apply quickly and easily for the UK ETA here on our platform

Hello Nancy,

Once your UK ETA is approved, you won’t receive a physical document or code to carry with you. The ETA is digitally linked to your passport, so there’s nothing you need to print or show and UK border officials will automatically see it when they scan your passport on arrival.

You’ll know your ETA is approved because you'll receive a confirmation email from UK authorities. Just make sure to travel with the same passport you used for the application.

Hi Osasumwen,

As of April 2025, an Italian citizen, you are required to obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for short visits to the United Kingdom. If you previously applied for an ETA and received approval, it will be valid for two years from the date of issuance or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. During this period, you can make multiple trips to the UK, with each stay lasting up to six months.

It's important to note that the ETA is electronically linked to the passport used during the application process. Therefore, if you have renewed your passport since your last trip, you will need to apply for a new ETA using your new passport and can do so quickly and stress-free on our platform.

Hi Rebecca,

To apply stress-free, you can submit your application through our platform, where our expert team will guide you through the process, review your application for errors, offer expedited options, and provide 24/7 customer support.

Hello Peter,

Since your UK ETA is electronically linked to your current passport, if you renew your passport after your June trip, your existing ETA will no longer be valid for your December travel. You’ll need to apply for a new ETA using your new passport for your December trip.

In New Zealand, you can renew your passport at any time, even if it’s still valid, and many travelers do this to avoid complications with visas or ETAs. If you renew your passport before both trips, you can apply for the ETA on our platform once using your new passport and use it for both June and December visits. This saves you from applying twice and ensures your ETA stays valid for future travel while your new passport is valid.

Hello Sami,

In order to travel to the United Kingdom, you'll need a UK visa, which is valid for two years with a multiple-entry allowance for stays up to six months.

You will need the following documents to apply for your visa: your passport, proof of your travel plans, accommodation, financial means to cover your trip, and your intent to return to Saudi Arabia.

For a smooth experience, we can help you through the process on our platform, reducing paperwork and saving you time.

Hello Michael,

If you are a British citizen and hold a UK passport, you are exempt from the ETA requirement.

However, if you don't have a valid UK passport and are traveling on another passport (like a Canadian one), you’ll need to apply for the ETA with your updated passport information to avoid any immigration issues.

You can get your application started today on our platform so you can travel stress-free to the UK.

Hello Kris,

If you've been denied an ETA and are now applying for a UK visa instead, the processing time can vary a little depending on the type of visa and where you're applying from.

Generally, a standard visitor visa usually takes about 3 weeks (15 working days) from the date UK immigration officials receive your application and passport.

However, here are a few helpful things to keep in mind:

Processing times can vary by country and season, especially during busy travel periods, so it may take longer.

Make sure your application is complete and accurate to avoid delays or rejections. A missing document or small error could mean starting over.

If you want to avoid the stress of paperwork and reduce the risk of mistakes, you can apply through our platform, where we will handle your application process so you can feel confident about getting your visa on time and stress-free.
