How to apply on the UK ETA app
1. Take a photo of your passport.
2. Scan the chip in your passport.
3. Scan your face.
4. Take a photo of yourself.
5. Answer some questions about yourself.
6. Pay for your application.

It should only take 10 minutes to apply.

You do not need to enter your travel details.

Before you start

To apply you will need:

• an iPhone 8 or newer with IOS 16 or later
• the passport you will use to travel to the UK
• a credit card, debit card or Apple Pay
• access to your emails

If you're applying for someone else they must be with you. If they are not, you should apply online at: 

After you apply

You’ll get a decision by email from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), usually within a day. Allow up to 3 working days (Monday to Friday) to get a decision, but it may arrive much sooner.

The email will contain your 16 digit ETA reference number.

You must wait until you get an email confirming you have an ETA before you travel to the UK.

If you have not received a decision after 3 working days, check your spam or junk email folder before contacting UKVI.

You may get decisions at different times to other people you applied for.

Your ETA will be linked to the passport you applied with. You only need to show your passport when you travel to the UK.


Privacy and security

The app is safe and secure. No information is stored on the app or your phone after you close it. You can delete the app after you have completed your application.

## UK ETA Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Easy and fast"
The smart features of this app meant I got my application done in about 5min.
-- Sadfacepower, 2025-06-16

### ***** "Australian applying for a visa"
Super easy to use app. No glitching and efficient. The whole process took 5 minutes and you can pay with Apple Pay. I reviewed my approved visa within 2 mins of completion of the application. This is the best way to get the ETA.
-- Hjgtegubfr, 2025-05-19

### *---- "Terrible"
App keeps crashing every time I try and submit my application. Considering this is a government funded app, it’s pretty poor.
-- Nick_1763, 2025-05-14

### *---- "Very frustrated"
I totally agree with previous comments. I understand security is required but trying to complete this procedure for the two of us is taurmatic to say the least.
Some young person organising this needs to get a better understanding of what would be really suitable for all ages!!!
-- Grah R, 2025-05-12

### *---- "Tried so many, many times."
App freezes after taking photo of passport
-- Mar1t31, 2025-05-12

### *---- "Completely useless"
Every attempt to use this App terminates with:  
“Sorry, there is a problem with the service
Try applying for your ETA online or try again later.”

Then you have to go through a dozen screens that try to force you back into the App until you can finally Apply online.
-- Unimpressed**, 2025-05-09

### *---- "Jenny Kelso"
Impossible to complete as security Code does not appear or when it does, it is rejected as wrong. VERY frustrating as after multiple attempts the application has still not succeeded
-- Jenny ( Melbourne., 2025-05-08

### ***** "Impressively quick & easy"
In Australia we keep hearing there’s issues with the app but I should have tried the app first. After multiple error messages when I attempted to apply online, I downloaded the app. The step-by-step guided process was so easy to follow & seamless I completed my application in 2-minutes.
-- joj0-75, 2025-04-30

### *---- "Glitchy"
Was told to download App from website for a faster way to get my UK visa but when you get to uploading your passport it crashes and says to come back later. Tried numerous times and keep getting the same message. Website is quicker and easier
-- Ree4221, 2025-04-18

### ***** "Easy to use"
I was hesitant with the negative reviews but easy and quick to use! Got it approved within minutes
-- smoothoperatorau, 2025-04-03

### ***** "Best government app I’ve ever used"
This is such an impressive app. If you have a passport with a smart chip it picks up everything automatically, scans details page and takes photo in app so you don’t have to take a pic and upload separately. Let me pay using Apple Pay so never even had to leave the app. I wish all governments got it right like this
-- BettinaMM, 2025-03-30

### **--- "Missing ‘British’ UK from current or previous held nationalities categories."
As an English (British) Citizen but no longer a GB/UK Passport holder had to apply for a UK ETA everything was fine until it came to the do you hold or previous Citizenship of another Country…No option for British or United Kingdom only other British variants that did not apply to me…First Rule of App design put your own Country in the list!
-- Bris Terrier, 2025-03-29

### *---- "ETA setup"
As soon as the 1st photo is taken it stops working and takes you back to beginning.
-- Yellow belly Ed, 2025-03-29

### *---- "Will not work on iPhone 8"
Although the iPhone 8 is running iOS 16.7 it doesn’t work properly. Initially the app crashed a couple of times. Having restarted the app again it worked up until scanning the passport it failed before scanning the chip on the passport - I suspect the NFC part of the app is not compatible with this phone.
-- mason_pj, 2025-03-23

### ***** "About the app"
Easy to apply and I got it in few minutes. The app works very well and you can pay by Apple Pay.
-- Laleshka Sol, 2025-03-22

### ***** "It works but…"
So long as your phone isn’t too old. There have been improvements with the app and the response for approval was within minutes.
-- Mepadfaced, 2025-03-20

### ***** "Wok76"
Worked well for me; no problems going thru the process.
-- Donny Trump, 2025-03-20

### ***** "2 mins approval super easy to use thanks"
Very easy to use took 5 mins to upload all the info super easy
-- aet3024, 2025-03-18

### ****- "Works well from Australia"
Very easy to use and seamless process, don't bother paying with Apple Pay though, it didn't work the two times I tried. Just use the pay by card option and the rest will flow smoothly. I'm hoping I wasn't charged for the two attempts by Apple Pay though.
-- n_pear, 2025-03-06

### *---- "App is a fail"
Doesn’t work- I get to the pp photo part, take the photo and it then says app not working, try another time.
-- EvOzH2o, 2025-02-09
