Effective Date: April 2026
โ ๏ธ Important Notice on Disputes
All chargebacks and payment disputes undergo comprehensive investigation. Fraudulent or bad-faith disputes will result in immediate account suspension and may be reported to relevant fraud prevention networks. Contesting a valid purchase without legitimate grounds may negatively impact your banking privileges. If you have a genuine concern, please contact us directly โ we are here to help.
TravelVisaPortal.com is an independent third-party facilitation service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Home Office or any government authority. You may apply directly for free at gov.uk.
How Our Service Works
When you complete checkout on TravelVisaPortal.com, you have already provided your application details as part of the purchase process. Your application is therefore considered In Progress from the moment payment is made, and our service commences immediately. Our team begins internal review, validation, and preparation for government submission without delay. Because work begins immediately upon purchase, all sales are considered final.
Application Credits
Purchases on TravelVisaPortal.com are processed as Application Credits. Each Application Credit entitles the holder to full ETA facilitation services for one (1) traveller.
- Application Credits are issued immediately upon payment confirmation
- Each credit is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase
- Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable to third parties
- Credits may be applied to any eligible traveller at any time within the validity period
- Unused credits expire after 12 months with no cash value
By purchasing an Application Credit you acknowledge that a stored value product has been issued to you and that service delivery has commenced.
Refund Policy: Credit Only
TravelVisaPortal.com does not issue cash refunds except in cases of duplicate payment or verified technical billing errors. All eligible refunds are issued as Application Credit, valid for 12 months from the date of issue, applicable to any future ETA application through TravelVisaPortal.com.
