Non British citizens travelling to UK need to apply for ETA

FYI
Non British citizen travelling to UK need to apply for an ETA.
This can be done by either downloading the app or on line which is quite easy.
I have applied online and got approval by mail within 30 seconds of sending the application.
My ETA is valid from 2nd April 2025 to 2nd April 2027. Cost 448.90 THB.

However, please note that not all nationalities are eligible for an ETA. Thais for instance, cannot apply for one.

Yes I fully agree.
The reason I posted this is that many nationalities like french (to name but one) didn't need an ETA but will have to apply for one if travelling on or after 2nd April 2025.
It's just to make people aware of the new rules if one wishes to go to the UK.
Best to check on the link to see which nationality needs to apply.

And if anything like South Korea, your nationality could determine how long it takes to obtain.
