eTourist ETA Refund Policy

At eTourist, we value transparency and fairness. This Refund Policy explains when refunds are available, how much you may receive, and how to request a refund, based on your application status at the time you contact us.

Refund Amounts by Application Status

Full Refund (100%)

A 100% refund is available if your application has not yet been reviewed.

Eligible statuses:

  • Incomplete – Required information or documents are still missing
  • Received – Your application was submitted and is awaiting review

Partial Refund (75%)

A 75% refund of the processing fee is available once your application is under review.

Eligible statuses:

  • Reviewed – Your information is being internally validated
  • Info needed – Additional details are required to continue processing

No Refund Available

Once your application has been submitted to the government, refunds can no longer be issued.

Non-refundable statuses:

  • With the gov – Application submitted to the government
  • Complete – Final decision issued
  • Rejected by gov – Final government decision issued

Government Refusal & Denial Protection

If the government refuses your application, refunds are not automatically issued.

However, if you purchased Denial Protection and your application is rejected:

  • You'll receive a 100% refund of your application fee
  • The refund is automatically returned to your original payment method
  • The Denial Protection fee is non-refundable

Processing Speeds Covered

This Refund Policy applies to all processing options:

  • Standard
  • Rush
  • Super-Rush

Refund Eligibility

Refunds typically take up to 14 business days (Monday–Friday) to appear in your account.

You may be eligible for a refund if your order meets the conditions below:

  • Orders older than 3 months aren't eligible for a refund.
  • If your order stays inactive for 3 months, it will be automatically cancelled, and no refund will be available.
  • If your application has already been submitted to the government, we can't issue a refund.
  • If your application is rejected by the government, a refund is not issued by default—unless you purchased Denial Protection with your order.

How to Request a Refund

If your order qualifies, requesting a refund is simple:

  1. Contact us via Live Chat or email [email protected]
  2. Provide your registered email address (if requested)
  3. If you have multiple orders, include the order number you want refunded
  4. Share the reason for your refund request

If your request doesn't meet the eligibility criteria, we'll explain why.

  • Up to 3 business days for internal processing

If your refund hasn't appeared after 14 business days, please contact your bank or card provider for assistance.
