Gullna reglan: ETA og vegabr\u00e9f eru \u00e6varandi tengd<\/h2>\n\n

The fundamental principle governing ETA passport change situations is straightforward yet often misunderstood: your UK ETA is tied exclusively to that passport number. Consequently, the moment you receive a replacement passport for any reason\u2014renewal, loss, or a temporary travel document\u2014that ETA becomes invalid. There is no way to edit or swap the passport number inside an existing UK ETA. Instead, you must submit an entirely new application with your replacement passport details. This rigid system exists because UK immigration authorities use that passport number as the primary verification point at entry. Therefore, border officers will reject the old UK ETA when scanning your replacement passport into their systems. The upshot is clear: anticipate needing a fresh UK ETA whenever you obtain a new travel document.<\/p>\n\n
