Tackling the UK E-Travel Auth in a Snap
Gearing up for the PartyPoker Tour London? Don't forget to check if you need a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)! Here's a run-down of what you need to know to make the process a breeze.
Check If You're ETA-Bound
Not everyone needs it. Ensure you're in the clear by verifying your travel status. If you do require one, the application fee is £16 and it's mandatory for everyone, even little ones.
Grab the UK ETA App
Once you've confirmed your need, the quickest way to apply is through the official UK ETA app. Connect your passport, snap a selfie, pay the fee, and you're ready to wait for approval. Keep in mind that processing times can vary - mine took 30 minutes with a Canadian passport, while fellow poker.pro reporter Christoffer Karlen got his ETA in about 5 hours with a Swedish passport. The sooner you apply, the better. Once authorized, your ETA is valid for two years and is directly linked to your passport, cutting down on extra hassles. Just bring your passport and you're good to jet-set.
