UK visa
Depending on your nationality, you need either a Standard Visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to visit the UK. We check which applies, prepare the application and book the biometrics appointment.
GOV.UK says you usually need an ETA rather than a visa if you are from Europe, the USA, Australia, Canada or certain other countries. Citizens of other countries apply for a Standard Visitor visa before they travel.
The official check takes a minute, and we confirm the result for you in the portal.
GOV.UK: Check if you need a UK visaYou can usually stay for up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family or friends, certain business activities, recreational courses of up to 30 days, and volunteering of up to 30 days with a registered charity. You cannot work for a UK company, claim public funds, or marry or register a civil partnership, which needs a Marriage Visitor visa.
You apply online, then prove your identity at a visa application centre, where your fingerprints and photo are taken. The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel, and a decision usually comes within 3 weeks.
An ETA costs £20 and lasts 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner. You can travel to the UK as many times as you like while it is valid, for stays of up to 6 months. It also covers Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Every traveller needs their own ETA, including babies and children. You do not need one if you are a British or Irish citizen, or if you already hold a UK visa or permission to live, work or study in the UK. An ETA does not guarantee entry: the decision is made at the border.
If you visit the UK often, a long-term visit visa valid for 2, 5 or 10 years lets you stay up to 6 months on each visit.
