Approval can take up to 72 hours from application. <\/p><p><strong>Validity<\/strong>: The ETA will be linked to the traveler&#8217;s passport and will last for two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Travelers can make multiple journeys of up to 6 months within those two years.<\/p><p><strong>Cost<\/strong>: The ETA will cost \u00a316 (British Pounds) per traveler, including babies and children. <\/p><p><strong>Exemptions<\/strong>: British and Irish nationals will not need an ETA to travel to the UK.<\/p><p><strong>Requirement<\/strong>: The ETA will be needed for entry into Northern Ireland\/UK, whether directly or via the Republic of Ireland.
