Therefore, if you hold a passport that enjoys visa-free entry to the UK, such as an Australian passport, Canadian passport, US passport, Singaporean passport, Malaysian passport, etc., you will need to apply for an ETA in the following situations where your stay in the UK is less than 6 months:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Traveling to the UK;<\/li>\n<li>Visiting family in the UK;<\/li>\n<li>Business trips to the UK;<\/li>\n<li>Studying, exchange programs, or short courses in the UK;<\/li>\n<li>Engaging in <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/standard-visitor\/paid-engagement-event\" target=\"_blank\">permitted paid activities<\/a> in the UK;<\/li>\n<li>Holding a <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/creative-worker-visa\/creative-worker-concession\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Worker Visa<\/a> and staying in the UK for less than 3 months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you hold a passport that <span style=\"color: #008000;\">enjoys visa-free entry to the UK<\/span> but plan to stay in the UK for more than 6 months, you will still need to apply for the appropriate UK visa based on the reason for your stay. Once the visa is obtained, there is no need to apply for an ETA. The type of VISA required for different situations can be checked on <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/check-uk-visa\/y\" target=\"_blank\">this webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you hold a passport that <span style=\"color: #008000;\">does not enjoy visa-free entry to the UK<\/span>, such as Thailand passport, regardless of the reason for entry or the length of stay, you will need to apply for the appropriate UK visa based on the reason for your stay. Once the visa is obtained, there is no need to apply for an ETA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Holders of British passports, Irish passports, British Overseas Territory passports and BNO (British National (Overseas) ) passports do not need to apply for an ETA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, passengers transiting through UK airports who will not be entering the UK do not need to apply for an ETA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"when\" style=\"color: #800080;\">1.2 When do you need to apply for an ETA?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The newly introduced ETA system was rolled out in three phases.

This means that travelers currently enjoying visa-free access to the UK will need to apply for a UK ETA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To find out if you need an ETA for your passport when entering the UK, you can check\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/check-when-you-can-get-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta\" target=\"_blank\">this webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"validity-period\" style=\"color: #800080;\">1.3 How long is the ETA valid?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ETA is valid for <span style=\"color: #008000;\">two years<\/span>.

Applying for an ETA<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ETA is applied for on an individual basis and cannot be applied for as a family or group. Each person needs to apply for their own ETA, but someone else can apply on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation can be applied for through the following two methods:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Using the <span style=\"color: #008000;\">APP<\/span>;<\/li>\n<li>Using the <span style=\"color: #008000;\">UK Government Website<\/span> GOV.UK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since the application process requires taking photos of the passport and the applicant, using the mobile app is more convenient, and the official recommendation is to use the app for the application. However, since the app requires facial recognition, if applying on behalf of someone else, the applicant must be present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have a mobile phone or are applying on behalf of someone who is not present, you can also use the UK government website to apply.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are applying on behalf of someone else who is not entering the UK with you, you can only apply through the website, not the mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below, we will explain the application process for both the app and the UK government website GOV.UK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ETA is an electronic permit and does not come in physical form. Once approved, the ETA will be linked to your passport, and the ETA information will automatically be displayed when your passport is read by UK immigration upon entry. Therefore, there is no need to separately present proof of application or approval for the ETA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"app\" style=\"color: #800080;\">2.1 Using the UK ETA App?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>UK ETA App download links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/uk-eta\/id6444912481\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"PUM.open(42463);\">iOS Version<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=uk.gov.HomeOffice.ho3\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"PUM.open(42463);\">Android Version<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelclassroom.net\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-eta-app.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelclassroom.net\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/uk-eta-app.jpg\" alt=\"UK ETA APP\" width=\"620\" height=\"260\" \/><\/picture>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The application process using the app generally includes the following six steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take a photo of the passport;<\/li>\n<li>Read the passport data;<\/li>\n<li>Perform facial recognition;<\/li>\n<li>Take a photo of the applicant&#8217;s face;<\/li>\n<li>Answer a few simple questions;<\/li>\n<li>Make the payment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>(1) Verify Email Address<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u30101\u3011After downloading and installing the mobile app, open the app, and it will display several prompts about the application steps.
