    UK ETA Document Requirements Checklist

    Before you start

    Gather these before you begin your application to avoid having to stop halfway through:

    • A machine-readable passport valid for the duration of your trip

    • A recent digital photo (passport-style)

    • An email address you check regularly

    • A debit or credit card for the application fee

    Photo requirements

    Your photo should be recent, in colour, with a plain background and a neutral expression.

    Submitting

    Once you have everything ready, the online form typically takes less than 3 minutes to complete.
