Only apply on the official website
Many middlemen look like government sites and charge several times the fee. The UK government explicitly warns about them. These are the official addresses:
- ESTA (USA): esta.cbp.dhs.gov ↗
- ETA (United Kingdom): gov.uk/eta ↗
- eTA (Canada): canada.ca ↗
- ETIAS (Schengen): travel-europe.europa.eu ↗
Tips
- Apply early: approval usually comes quickly, but it can take a few days.
- Same passport: the authorisation is linked to the passport you applied with. New passport means new authorisation.
- Check validity: many countries require your passport to be valid beyond your trip.
- No guarantee: even with an authorisation, the border officer decides on entry.
How Voynera helps
Voynera's entry check shows which documents and authorisations you need for your destination, and whether your passport or ID is valid for long enough.
