Electronic Travel Authorisation
About Electronic Travel Authorisation
The Electronic Travel Authorisation is a pre-travel digital permission for non-visa nationals coming to the UK for short stays or transit. It is not a visa, but you cannot board a UK-bound flight without one if your nationality is in scope. Most applications are decided quickly, but refusals do happen and can disrupt travel and future immigration plans. RakLAW Solicitors advise individuals, families and businesses on whether they need an ETA, how to apply correctly, and what to do if an ETA has been refused or cancelled.
Who this is for
- Non-visa nationals planning short UK visits
- Travellers transiting the UK between other countries
- Families and groups travelling together to the UK
- Business travellers needing pre-travel UK clearance
How RakLAW helps
- Confirm whether you need an ETA or a visa
- Guide you through the digital application process
- Advise on previous immigration or criminal disclosures
- Help where an ETA has been refused or cancelled
