How to apply for a visa without downloading the application
One of the biggest misconceptions about applying for a UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) is that you need to install special software or download an app. In reality, the process can be fully web-based.
On GetETAUK, you can complete your entire ETA application securely online using only your browser — on a computer, tablet, or your mobile phone.
No downloads, no installations
The ETA application is designed to be simple and accessible:
- You don’t need to download any mobile app.
- You don’t need to install software on your computer.
- All you need is an internet connection and a web browser.
This means you can apply from home, at work, or even while travelling.
How the online process works
- Open the online form in your browser on mobile or PC.
- Enter your personal details such as name, email, country, and occupation.
- Upload your documents — a photo of your passport’s bio page and a recent personal photo.
- Pay securely online with a debit or credit card.
- Wait for approval by email, usually within 1–3 business days.
Why this is more convenient
- Works on any device (PC, Mac, iPhone, Android).
- No risk of using outdated or unofficial apps.
- No need to worry about storage space or compatibility.
- Secure submission directly through our encrypted platform.
