A fast, paperless electronic authorisation linked directly to your passport.
An Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is a mandatory pre-travel permission for eligible passport holders visiting certain countries. Unlike a traditional visa, an ETA is electronically linked to your passport — no stamps, no stickers.
ETAs are typically valid for multiple short stays within a 12-month period or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
