An approved UK eTA is valid for two years from the date of approval or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
What You Need to Know
The validity period begins on the date your eTA is approved. You can use it to enter the United Kingdom multiple times during this two-year period, as long as your passport remains valid. The validity period refers to how long the eTA can be used to enter the UK and is different from the length of stay allowed on each visit, which is typically up to six months.
Our Recommendation
After your eTA is approved, review the approval email to confirm the exact expiration date and to understand how long you are permitted to stay in the United Kingdom per entry.
A Quick Tip
Keep in mind that the validity period refers to how long you can use the eTA to enter the UK. It does not determine how long you can stay on each visit.
