The Home Office publishes data on Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs) in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly release’. Data on outcomes of ETAs are published in table ‘ETA_D02’ of the Detailed Electronic Travel Authorisation dataset. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. Data covers up to the end of 2024.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.

The requested information is not held in a reportable format. To provide this information for the purpose of answering this question would incur disproportionate cost.
