TL;DR:<\/strong> A UK ETA framlenging<\/strong> does not exist. Your ETA stays valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, and each visit can last up to six months. You cannot extend the document or the stay; when it lapses you simply apply for a new \u00a316 ETA, and longer stays require a visa instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
