Fees and Payment
Last reviewed:
The UK ETA service fee is charged once per applicant. It includes the mandatory UK government authorisation fee and the full filing service, handled in a single payment.
The service fee is $99.95 per applicant. This includes the mandatory UK government authorisation fee of £20 and the full filing service. There are no hidden fees; optional add-ons, such as Buyer Protection, are shown at checkout before you pay.
An approved ETA is generally valid for two years, or until the linked passport expires, whichever comes first.
What the fee includes
- Guided application: step-by-step guidance through each field and question of the application.
- Accuracy review before filing: applicant details, the passport scan, and the photo are checked against UK Visas and Immigration standards before submission.
- Correction and resubmission: if a correctable error is identified, the application is corrected and resubmitted.
- Customer support: support by email throughout the process, including after the decision is issued.
- Secure handling of information: data and documents are transmitted over an encrypted connection.
- Government fee included: the mandatory UK government authorisation fee is included in the total.
The UK ETA application has strict requirements. Errors in a photo, passport scan, or eligibility answer can result in delays or a refusal, and the government fee is not refunded when an application is refused. This service prepares, reviews, and files the application, and support remains available until the decision is issued.

Common questions about fees
What does my payment cover?
The payment is a single total per applicant. It covers the mandatory UK government authorisation fee and the full filing service: guided preparation, document and accuracy review, submission to UK Visas and Immigration, resubmission if a correctable error is identified, and customer support throughout the process.
Is the price charged per person?
Yes. Every traveller, including infants and children, needs their own UK ETA, so the total applies to each individual application. A family of four submits four applications.
Why does an approved ETA last two years?
Once approved, a UK ETA is generally valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, and allows multiple visits of up to six months each. No further payment is required during the validity period.
Is the fee refundable?
Refund eligibility is set out in our Refund Policy. Because the authorisation decision rests entirely with UK Visas and Immigration and the government portion is non-refundable once filed, please review that policy before submitting.
OnlineVisaFiling.com is a private filing service operated by Visa Solutions and is not affiliated with the UK government. Travellers may apply for a UK ETA directly through the official UK government channels; our price reflects the optional assistance, review, and support we provide in addition to the government fee.
