set at a level that will cover the costs of administering the system and is competitive
compared with similar international schemes by international partners.</p><p>It is

the UK taxpayer.</p><p>The estimated cost of administering each ETA application will
be published when the ETA fee is formally set in the Immigration and Nationality Fees
Regulations in Autumn 2023.</p>
