Everything was clear

Everything was clear. But for us old people, it was a little bit difficult to take the right photos. Finally I managed. So all good.

Not an official website for UK ETA very expensive

I started filling in the application form on your website. Only at the last screen, I noticed that 277,49 USD was
going to be charged, so aborted the transaction. Surprisingly, I saw the transaction billed anyway. This is fraude, steps are taken to urge for a refund....and to notify the authorities of this scam.

DO NOT USE THIS.

DO NOT USE THIS.

They collect your credit card info and never tell you the price. You put in your application and still no process is displayed. I only found out when I checked my account. They charged me $170. I read online its only $25. This is a rip off. I Iimmediately called and canceled. They refunded me bit it takes 7-10 business days.

It has hidden costs of 100 USD and is not the official website. You can do the same process through the app, going to the gov.uk website, and it only costs around 30USD. I have seen reviews, and probably an AI will answer my comment through this page. Possibly, all good comments are bots; no one likes to pay +100USD for the same process.

Beware of hidden fees

This site takes advantage of distracted and unaware people. You starr the process always with the indication that the ETA will cost around 23€. Every step of the process shows that amount as the amount to pay, so when you arrive to the payment, you expect to pay that, but no... you need to scroll to the end of the page to see that in reality they will charge you another 99€ on top of the normal fee that you would pay if using the government site. On top of that I have no idea what they will do with my photo and passpprt. I got tricked into this, but hopefully this review will prevent others from being tricked as well.
PS. I did this whole process for my wife, so it's normal that you will not find my name in your records.
