When you're planning an international trip, the last thing you need is to be overcharged for something straightforward. Yet if you've searched online for help with an ETIAS, UK ETA, or Canada eTA application, you've probably noticed that prices vary wildly between providers — and not always for good reason.
Here's what you need to know before you pay a penny.
The Truth About "Express Processing"
Many third-party application services advertise an express or priority processing option, often charging a significantly higher fee for it. It sounds reassuring — pay more, get your authorisation faster.
The problem? No third-party service has any influence over how quickly a government system processes your application. The processing time is set entirely by the relevant government authority — whether that's the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for the Canadian eTA, or the UK Home Office for the UK ETA.
Paying extra for "express processing" through a third-party provider does not move your application to the front of any government queue. It simply means you've paid more.
What ETA Permits Charges — and Why
At ETA Permits, we believe in complete transparency. We charge one simple fee per application, depending on your destination. That's it.
Our fee includes:
The full government fee for your application
Personal human review of your application before submission
Support throughout the process
You know EXACTLY what you are paying up-front with NO surprises along the way.

Human Review — What That Actually Means
One of the most common reasons travel authorisation applications are delayed or rejected is simple human error — a name entered incorrectly, a passport number mistyped, or a question misunderstood.
At ETA Permits, every application is personally reviewed by a member of our team before it is submitted. We check for errors, inconsistencies, and anything that might cause a problem. This human review process is one of the most valuable things we offer — and it genuinely reduces the risk of delays and rejections.
At EtaPermits, we charge less and we provide more - with no hidden costs.
We've done the research. Our all-inclusive fee covers everything you need, with no add-ons required.
