Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 373 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the online process to be quick, easy to follow, and straightforward, appreciating the user-friendly website and clear instructions. People generally had a good experience with the application process, noting its simplicity and speed. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with the pricing, as they were often charged much more than expected, with additional fees not clearly disclosed until the payment stage. Many reviewers felt misled by the pricing and believed the website gave the impression of being an official government portal, leading to unexpected high costs. Some customers also reported issues with payments, where transactions were processed despite cancellation attempts, and found the process of uploading documents like passports to be difficult.

High service fees, not clearly visible - do not recommend!

Advertised the UK ETA fee was to be 20 GBP, but charged my credit card with 163.98 USD! The note about the service fee was not well visible and I wrongly assumed this was a government website. I did not receive any e-mail confirmation on whether the ETA was confirmed. Please re-imburse me either with the full 163.89 USD, or minus the 20 GBP if already issued.

Misleading

Er staat dat een ETA $20,- kost. Ga je naar het afrekenen dan wordt er ineens meer dan USD 300 gevraagd! Dat is gewoonweg frauderen. Let op dat je niet op betalen klikt.

The website states that the ETA costs US$20, but when you proceed to payment, the total suddenly jumps to over US$300. This is highly misleading and appears to be fraudulent. Be careful and do not click the payment button.

Insane fees scam travellers.

They ask for 20GBP and add +100GBP in fees without properly informing you in the process. Great for scamming travellers.

Do not get your ETA's from them.

Update:
I got 50% back after having a chat with their customer service but they wouldn't refund down to the original amount displayed: 20GBP (in my case 40GBP since I needed two ETA's). I still couldn't choose anything other than "Rush" or "Super Rush" when applying.

My curiosity peaked when I had been asked for 20 GBP + 100+ GBP for additional services, so looked for official gov.uk app where I paid those 20 GBP and receive result almost immediately.

Parasitic web. Their fake reviews are a joke.

Careful this is a fraud

Careful this is a fraud.

Firstly, this website pretends to be official government website, which is not.

Secondly, it doesnt disclose the fees which are actually due. The website informs you that the fee for such ETA is 20 GBP and then they charged us without warning 680 USD.

Lastly, they never delivered. They comment everywhere, that the payment is for premium services. The truth is, that we haven't heard back from them at all. So even this "service" has not been delivered.

Avoid at all cost.

They charged me over 300 euros without warning, even though I declined the transaction on my bank app. As of now, I don't even know if I will get a refund.

Update: I got the refund, so I'll update my review to 2*. I still think it's overpriced and dodgy

SCAM

SCAM-You fill in infromation and get info you only have to pay 20 pounds before you start. At payment checkout no information about pricing until you filled in your card information. To suddenly see they charge you 147 euro's. Even when I cancelled mid payment they still took my money. Tomorrow will visit the bank and probably the police station.
