UK ETA SCAM
I Balaji R. Sahasranaman felt scammed by them charging me USD344.97 for 3 ETA applications which in reality cost USD27.00 per application totaling USD81. That's over USD 300.00 more for something which is very simple. I also shared personal passport information & credit card information with them. I feel very cheated and concerned that my personal information is floating around in a private website. I would really appreciate a refund from them.

Illegally keeping money for services not provided
On April 9th me and my family used the services of UK visa portal last minute to buy the ETA visa. We were in a hurry and didn't realize that we were paying way too much for a service that the official government entity was offering for less than €20. While the application for my daughter worked out and she got a confirmation for the visa, the other two applications never went through. Nevertheless UK visa portal charged us for 3 applications for a total of over €400. we complained over email upon the company and asked them to refund the money paid for the two applications that were unsuccessful, as they did not provide any service for two out of three people. They so far rejected our request. We will proceed with requesting two thirds of the money back again as they did not provide any service for that amount and are considering starting legal proceedings against them if we don't get a satisfactory answer. we would like to believe this is just a very expensive service but a legit one and not that this was a scam. If they are a legit company then they should only charge for the services they provided and not keep money from customers in such an illegal manner.

The process was smooth and well organized
Many services begin with strong communication but struggle to maintain the same standard throughout the process. That wasn’t the experience here. What impressed me most was not only the clear and organized start, but the way that professionalism and structure were consistently maintained from beginning to end. Every step felt well-managed and dependable, which made the entire experience feel reliable and trustworthy.

Smooth experience with a small hiccup
There was just one issue early on where I had to re-submit a document due to formatting, which caused a slight delay. The rest of the process was quick and straightforward.

I would strongly advise against using this service.
I would strongly advise against using this service.
This is a third-party website that charges extremely high fees for a process that can be completed free of charge through the official government website.
I initially started my application through this platform and paid almost £70 per person for their so-called processing service. However, partway through the application, I decided not to continue and contacted them to request a refund, as the application had not been completed.
At first, they only agreed to issue a partial refund. In my opinion, this was completely unreasonable, especially considering that the service had not been fully provided. Only after I made it clear that I was prepared to contact my bank and formally dispute the payment, and after I requested evidence of the work they claimed to have completed, did they finally return the money.
Overall, my experience was very disappointing. The website creates the impression that you are paying for something necessary or official, while in reality the same application can be made directly through the official website at no cost. I consider the service overpriced, misleading, and not worth the money.
I strongly recommend avoiding this website and using the official government website instead.

Last minute ETA made my trip to the UK!
As I was on my way to the Eurostar I realized my ETA was valid for my old passport and I was traveling with a new one. Desperate I started searching online, luckily I found Visa Portal and got the ETA within 30 minutes (I payed for the one hour one, but had it even sooner). Thanks to them I got my dream weekend to London! I know that they charge, but missing my trip with Eurostar and hotel would have cost much more. Impeccable, thank you!

I paid $250 through this site to apply…
I paid $250 through this site to apply for a UK ETA, not realizing it was a third-party service and not the official UK government portal. The actual UK ETA costs £10 directly through gov.uk and takes minutes to complete yourself.
The site is designed to look official, which is how I ended up here in the first place. The "services" they charge for — document review, application monitoring, email delivery — are not necessary for a process this simple.
When I requested a refund, it was denied. I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company to recover most of what I paid. Only after the dispute did they reach out offering a partial refund.
If you need a UK ETA, go directly to gov.uk. It takes about 10 minutes and costs £10. Do not use third-party sites like this one.

Worked well, but required a bit of backtracking
The process itself is quite well designed, but I did have to go back and correct something after my initial submission. It wasn’t a major issue, but it did slow things down slightly because I had to revisit earlier steps and make sure everything matched correctly. That part could probably be improved to avoid small mistakes like that. On the positive side, once everything was corrected, the rest of the process moved forward without any problems. So while it wasn’t completely smooth, it still delivered the expected result.

Do not fall for this when searching for a UK Visa Application. It is not the official site and they charge 5x+ what it should actually. They are based in Dubai. It is a misleading scam masquerading as the official website. Plus then you have to worry about identity theft.
