Visa Application
United Kingdom ETA
The Standard Visitor visa replaced the old tourist visa. It is for tourism, business, study and other permitted activities. Note: U.S. citizens and other visa-exempt nationals traveling to the UK for short stays (under 6 months) do not need a traditional visa, but must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) starting in 2025.

The ETA is digital permission to travel, not a visa, and does not guarantee entry. Eligibility, nationality, passport, purpose, existing UK permission and exemptions must be checked before sale. GOV.UK says decisions usually arrive within a day, allows up to 3 working days and confirms that third parties cannot obtain a faster decision. Price and the government fee are outside this Master Product.
