UK Electronic Travel Authorisation
 

We're going to England on April 14th.
As I understand it, as from April 2nd, all EU citizens need an ETA to enter the UK.
That will include my wife who has a Spanish passport.
On the UK.gov.org website it says the quickest way to apply for an ETA is to download the app.
Her phone is an iphone 13.
I cannot find the app anywhere in her Apple store.
Has anyone else had this problem?

On the Government site below the app part it says if you cant use the app apply online . If you follow that link it eventually takes you to a separate online appliction . I have attached a link to that application page , if it works

The above reply may not be correct. From this link.

The link I previous gave has one to the Apple's store for the UK Gov app.

My son in law had to do this a month or so ago for their upcoming visit to the Uk. He is Australian.
My daughter filled in the online form and it was approved in minutes.
I think she used the Apple app

Re: UK Electronic Travel Authorisation
 

The page you link to mentions yes apps for android and apple and links to them. My understanding of OP post was they had tried to get the apple app without success? The government site links to the link i put on for an online application without using the app or if one cant download the app. I thought that was OPs situation. I cant see what is incorrect re link i posted?

Yes, you're correct. We cannot seem to get to the Apple "download link", even though the phone is series 13 & the iOS is more than enough.
Will try by computer.

if you search for ‘UK ETA’ in the Apple App Store it’s definitely there. Just make sure it’s the Home Office published app as there are a few others appearing online much like there are with the US ESTA app but charge more.

Thanks.
I've located on her iphone Appstore updates & switched it on.
Magic, now I've found the app for UK ETA

many thanks to all

Used the app recently for someone and the application was approved within minutes (probably without human intervention).

Keep in mind that its validity is two years or whenever the passport expires, whichever is sooner. And if you do change passports then you cannot "move" your UK ETA to the new passport - you have to apply (and pay) for a new one.
