Four, one for each person, babies included.

  1. One for the whole family
  2. Four, one per person ✔
  3. Three, since babies are exempt

Why: Each traveler needs their own ETA, even babies and children. There is no family ETA. Apply only on the official GOV.UK site or app, because copycat sites charge more.

Huh, didn't know that: British and Irish citizens, including dual citizens, do not need an ETA.
