What is the validity of the UK ETA?
The UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is generally valid for 2 years (or until your passport expires, whichever comes first).
Key points about UK ETA validity:
- Length of validity: 2 years.
- Linked to passport: If your passport expires before 2 years, the ETA expires at the same time. You’ll need to apply for a new ETA with your new passport.
- Multiple visits: You can use the same ETA for multiple trips to the UK during its validity period.
- Stay limit per visit: Each visit allows you to stay for up to 6 months (for tourism, business, or visiting family/friends).
