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.
