Once the photos are in order, it’s a breeze.

I appreciate how quickly I was able to receive my authorization - quite uniquely expeditious in my experience with governmental documents! The finickiness of the picture requirements was the only bump in the road: it’s hard (in one’s house) to get a picture of a passport that passes muster. But after a few failures I got it done.

Overall an easy process, but make sure to have digital images of passport information pages and of your portrait prior to starting the application.

Overall, a good experience. It would be helpful to advise applicants, prior to beginning data entry, that digital images of both the passport information pages and head and shoulder portraits are required to complete the application process.

The application process was intuitive and convenient. We had a bit of an issue uploading an acceptable photo of one of our passports, but Hanna B. from Customer Support guided us through resubmitting a clear, acceptable photo, kept us informed of the progress of our applications, and was incredibly helpful. We received our UK ETA approval within hours and are looking forward to our visit!

I accidentally used UKVisaPortal website for a UK ETA

I accidentally used UKVisaPortal to start an application for a UK ETA:

They probably paid Google to be at the top websites to make sure people click on their website and think its the legit government website. When I looked at reviews on the site it seemed good, but obviously those were fake reviews since I checked later and those reviews dates and times did not make sense.
I just wasn't paying attention (stupid, I know) and I should have realized when they wanted me to pay first and were charging huge amount of fees for a visa at 4 times the price. I started filling out the form and was having lots of technical issues and realized this might be a scam.

Then when I did some research, I noticed this was not the official website and did not need to pay these huge fees and allot of people were mentioning they got scammed by this website. The website would email me every 5 mins to finish filling out the form and send all my passport info and so on.

I asked for a refund through proper process as per their website, and I was still getting mails every 5 mins asking me to continue the process.

Go through official government website and be careful.
