UK ETA Reviews

Easy and fast

The smart features of this app meant I got my application done in about 5min.

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.

Terrible

Nick_1763 on

Australia

App keeps crashing every time I try and submit my application. Considering this is a government funded app, it’s pretty poor.

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!!!

Tried so many, many times.

App freezes after taking photo of passport

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.

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

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.

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

Easy to use

I was hesitant with the negative reviews but easy and quick to use! Got it approved within minutes
