What requirements do I need to meet?
You’ll need a passport or travel document to enter the UK. Don’t forget to check that it’ll be valid for the whole of your trip, to avoid problems later on. You’ll need to show that:
- you’ll leave the UK at the end of your visit
- you’re able to support yourself and anybody else who depends on you (such as children or a spouse) during your trip. Or, you could show that you have funding from someone else.
- you’re able to pay for your return and onward journey or have funding from someone else.
- you’re not planning to live in the UK by taking multiple, reoccurring visits, or to make the UK your main home.
Due to the risk of tuberculosis (TB) in some countries, you might need to take a test before visiting the UK. You can find out here if you’ll need to take one.
The rules on what you’ll need to enter the UK may be different if you’re travelling from Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man.
