US passport - needed an ETA for a London trip and didn't realise the rules had changed. Came back on the Express speed within the hour and they checked my passport details first.

UK ETA for Malaysians at a glance
Malaysians do not need a UK visa - just a quick online travel pass called an ETA. It lasts two years and there is no embassy visit.
Good to know: the ETA is digitally linked to your passport and covers tourism, family, business, short study and transit. British and Irish citizens, and anyone with UK immigration status, do not need one.

What Malaysian travellers said
Rated 3.5 / 5 by 2,147 verified travellers worldwide. Here are a few recent reviews from customers we have helped with their visa applications.
FacebookGerman passport - clear all-inclusive price and a quick form. They confirmed the 2-year validity covers my work trips, so I applied just once.
Emirati passport - simple and fast for a family visit to Manchester. They reminded me that each of my children needed their own ETA, which saved a problem at the airport.
Tips for Malaysians visiting the UK
It is an authorisation, not a visa
The ETA permits travel; UK Border Force still makes the final entry decision on arrival.
One ETA, two years
It allows multiple visits of up to six months each, so keep it for future UK trips.
Transit usually needs one too
Malaysians generally need an ETA even to change planes in the UK, so apply before you fly.
New passport, new ETA
The ETA is digitally linked to your passport, so apply again if you renew or replace it.
