Ok Passports sorted, thought about whether you need a Visa or not! Didn't think so (ok Brownie point for those that did).
Planning to travel outside British Territories may mean you require a visa to enter the country, the easiest thing to check if this applies to you is to contact the Consulate or Embassy of the country you plan to visit by clicking here and scrolling down to the A-Z.
What is a visa?
If you are not a British Citizen of one of the European Economic Area (EEA) countries, you mat need an entry clearance before you travel to the UK.
People from certain counties, known as Visa nationals, need an entry clearance to enter the UK for any reason, those from other countries need one only for some reasons: for example, to live as the wife of a British citizen.
Entry clearance is the formal term to describe the application process for visa nationals who intend a longer stay or to settle in the United Kingdom. Entry clearance officers work to strict rules and procedures.
If you have a valid UK visa, you will normally be refused entry to the UK on arrival unless your circumstances have changed, you gave false information or you did not tell the entry clearance officer important facts when you applied for your visa.
The visa tells the immigration officer at a UK port of arrival:
* The purpose of your travel
* How long you can stay in the UK
* And the latest date that you can enter the UK.
* Normally you may enter and leave the UK as many times as you like during the validity of your visa.
