UK eTA for Marshall Islands Citizens

Permitted Activities

The eTA is suitable for leisure travel, visiting friends, and short-term study. It also covers business tasks like attending meetings or signing contracts. For a full breakdown of what is allowed, you can view the detailed requirements page.

You must use a valid biometric passport from the Marshall Islands to apply. The eTA is only valid for the specific passport used in the application. If you replace your passport, you must apply for a new authorisation.

Stay Length and Validity

An approved authorisation usually lasts for two years. During this period, you can enter the UK multiple times. Most visitors are permitted to stay for up to six months per visit. It is important to remember that this does not allow you to live permanently in the UK.

Application Fees

The cost of the eTA is determined by several factors, including the type of visit and how quickly you need the result. This fee is paid during the online application process and is necessary for the authorities to review your details. Check the latest fees here.

Review and Wait Times

Most requests are processed within a few days. However, you can choose from different tiers: normal, urgent, and super-fast. To avoid any issues with your flight, we suggest applying at least three working days before you plan to depart.

The Digital Form

The form is simple and requires your personal data, passport details, and answers to suitability questions. You will also need to upload a digital photo. You can access the form online to start the process now.

Tracking Your Progress

After you submit your form, you can monitor its status. You will need your application reference number or your passport details. An email will be sent to you once a decision has been made on your request.

Avoiding Rejection

Most denials are caused by incorrect information. If your name or passport number doesn't match your document exactly, your application may be refused. Criminal history or previous immigration issues in the UK can also lead to a rejection.

Expiring Authorisations

If your eTA is about to expire while you are in the UK, you should plan your departure or check if you can extend your stay. Overstaying your permitted time is a breach of rules and could make it harder to visit the UK again in the future.
