The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel.
You must meet the eligibility requirements and only do permitted activities.
Electronic Travel Authorisation
Electronic Travel Authorisation
An electronic travel authorisation (ETA) lets you travel to the UK for tourism, visiting family or certain other reasons for up to 6 months.
An ETA does not guarantee entry to the UK. If you have a criminal record or you were previously refused entry into the UK, you may want to apply for a Standard Visitor visa instead.
