How to avoid needlessly paying too much for an ETA visa waiver for the UK
Briefly

from The Local Germany3 weeks ago
From April 2nd, 2024, European, EEA, and Swiss passport holders will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the UK. This introduces a new visa waiver costing £10 (€12), required online before travel. While the online application aims to simplify the process, it unfortunately invites scams from unauthorized websites. These third-party sites can charge excessive fees for services that applicants can complete themselves through the official UK government site. Only UK, Irish passport holders, or those with residency are exempt from this requirement.
The ETA itself is a £10 (€12) visa waiver that must be applied for online in advance of travel; however, scammers exploit this online process.

No external companies or websites are authorized by the UK government to provide the ETA visa waiver, highlighting the risks of third-party websites.
