Browse destination guidesAre you a government website?
No. ETA Atlas is a planned independent private assistance service. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or authorised to represent any government. You can always apply directly through the official government websites.
Do I have to use an assistance service?
No. Using a private service is optional. You can check the requirements and apply directly with the relevant government, paying only the official fees.
Can I apply through ETA Atlas today?
Not yet. This website is a prelaunch preview. It provides country information, but does not accept applications, passport uploads or payments. UK ETA is the first planned service; Canada and New Zealand are planned for later.
Can you guarantee approval or faster processing?
No. Only the relevant government decides an application and its processing time. A private service cannot guarantee approval, faster government processing or admission at the border.
What is the difference between an ETA and a visa?
An electronic travel authorisation is a travel permission for eligible travellers. It is not interchangeable with a visa. Your nationality, immigration status and reason for travel determine which document you need.
What personal information does this preview collect?
There are no application forms, passport uploads, accounts or payment fields on this website. The site code does not add analytics or advertising trackers. Hosting infrastructure may process technical request data; see our privacy policy.
Where can I get help with an existing application?
Contact the government authority or the provider you used to apply. ETA Atlas cannot access or change applications made through another website.
