Pricing & Fee Structure
Complete transparency about the costs associated with your UK ETA application through our service.
Understanding the Fee Structure
When applying for a UK ETA through ETA UK CENTER, there are two distinct fee components. It is important to understand the difference between these fees so you know exactly what you are paying for, what each fee covers, and how they relate to each other. We believe in complete fee transparency — there are no hidden charges, unexpected costs, or additional fees beyond what is clearly communicated.
Before completing your application, you will be shown a clear and itemised breakdown of all applicable fees. You will have the opportunity to review the total cost before confirming your submission. Payment is only processed when you choose to proceed, and the fee breakdown is presented in a straightforward format that leaves no ambiguity about what you are paying.
Fee Components
Government Processing Fee
The UK Government charges a processing fee for each ETA application. This fee is set and collected by the government and is the same regardless of how you submit your application — whether directly through official channels or through our assistance service.
- Set by UK Government authorities
- Same amount for all applicants of the same type
- Covers application processing and security checks
- Non-refundable once submitted for processing
- Subject to change by the UK Government at any time
- Applied per applicant (each traveller pays individually)
Service Assistance Fee
Our service fee covers the cost of the application assistance we provide. This fee is separate from the government processing fee and represents the cost of using our guided service rather than applying independently through official channels.
- Covers guided application form and instructions
- Includes document preparation guidance
- Provides application status tracking access
- Includes email-based support throughout the process
- Subject to our Refund Terms (see Refund Terms page)
- Applied per application submission

Fee Transparency Commitment
We are committed to full transparency in our pricing. You will never encounter hidden fees, unexpected charges, or costs that were not clearly communicated before payment. Our fee structure is straightforward:
Optional Nature of Our Service
Using ETA UK CENTER to apply for your UK ETA is entirely optional. The UK ETA can also be applied for directly through official government channels. When applying directly, you would pay only the government processing fee. Our service exists for travellers who prefer guided assistance, value having dedicated support available, and want help ensuring their application is complete and accurate.
We encourage all potential applicants to make an informed decision about whether our service is right for them. Our website provides comprehensive information about what our service includes, what the fees cover, and how our assistance differs from applying independently.
Refund Information
For detailed information about refund eligibility, conditions, and timelines, please refer to our Refund Terms page. Refund terms differ between the government processing fee and our service assistance fee. The stage of processing at the time of a refund request is an important factor in determining eligibility. We aim to handle all refund requests fairly and transparently.
The exact fee amounts are displayed within the application form at the payment stage. We do not publish specific prices on this page as government fees may be updated by UK authorities at any time.
