Quick answer
A UK ETA is normally linked to your passport rather than a single arrival date. If your passport and personal details are unchanged and the ETA is still valid, a date change alone usually does not require a new ETA. You cannot edit the arrival date after submission.
What to do next
- Check whether the ETA has already been submitted.
- Confirm that your passport number, name, date of birth, and other identity details are still correct.
- Check whether the new trip falls within the ETA validity period.
- If your passport changed, details are wrong, travel purpose changed, or the ETA will expire before the trip, submit a new application if eligible.
- Contact support if you are unsure.
Helpful details
- A UK ETA is digitally linked to the passport and may be valid for two years with multiple entries while the passport remains valid.
- Once submitted, ETA application information generally cannot be edited.
- A change in travel date alone usually does not affect ETA validity.
