What an Electronic Travel Authorization Really Is
An electronic travel authorization is a digital pre-screening clearance, not a visa. Here is what every traveller should understand before applying.
An eTA Is Not a Visa
It is permission to travel to a port of entry, not a guarantee of admission.
A Border Officer Decides
Immigration officers confirm whether you are admissible on arrival.
Eligibility Follows Your Passport
Your nationality determines whether you can use an eTA at all.

eTA Systems
Which Countries Require an eTA?
Each system has its own eligibility list, fee, and validity. Here are the eTA programs travellers ask about most.
UK ETA
For visa-exempt nationals only. Travellers from countries requiring a visa still need a UK Standard Visitor visa.
Canada eTA
Linked to your passport. Most travellers who need a visa still require a visitor visa rather than an eTA.
US ESTA
Run by CBP for Visa Waiver Program countries only. Non-eligible nationalities need a B1/B2 visa instead.
Sri Lanka ETA
Open to many passport holders. Apply online before travel; an ETA holder receives a short-visit visa at the port of entry.
| System | Fee | Validity | Stay / Visit | Processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇬🇧 UK ETA | £20 | 2 years / passport expiry | Up to 6 months | Up to 3 working days |
| 🇨🇦 Canada eTA | CAD $7 | Up to 5 years / passport expiry | Up to 6 months | Often within minutes |
| 🇺🇸 US ESTA | US $40.27 | 2 years / passport expiry | Up to 90 days | Often within minutes |
| 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka ETA | Free–US $50 | Up to 6 months | 30-day short visit | Minutes to hours |
Fees and rules change often — always verify on the official portal before you pay.
