UK ETA Processing Times

At Evisa Registry, we aim to make your UK ETA application process as smooth and efficient as possible. Below is an overview of the estimated processing times and what to expect after submission.

Standard Processing Time

• Typical Processing Time: 1 to 3 business days
• Most applications are reviewed and approved within 48 hours.
• In some cases, processing may take longer due to additional security checks or high application volumes.

Please Note: The UK Government is responsible for the final decision on your ETA application. Evisa Registry has no influence over approval time once your application is submitted.

Urgent Situations

We recommend applying for your ETA well in advance of your travel date—ideally at least a week before departure. While some applications are approved within hours, others may require more time depending on individual circumstances.

Email Notification

You will receive updates at each stage of the application process:

• Confirmation Email: After successful submission
• Approval Notification: When your ETA is approved
• Follow-Up Email: If additional information is needed or if the application is delayed

All notifications will be sent to the email address you provide in your application. Please check your inbox and spam folder regularly.

Factors That May Delay Processing

• Incomplete or incorrect application details
• Passport issues (e.g., expired or damaged)
• Security or immigration history requiring additional review
• System errors or technical problems on government servers

Final Tip:

Apply early to avoid any last-minute issues or travel disruptions. Though Evisa Registry processes applications promptly, approval ultimately depends on the UK Home Office's decision.
