, VISITORS
WHO IS A ENTRY CLEARANCE:
VISITOR? • Except in the case of visa nationals, no entry clearance is normally
required for a visit to the UK of up to 6 months.
• It is possible for non-visa nationals to arrive at a UK port and seek
leave to enter from an immigration officer.
- May reduce any potential problems for those who are not
simply tourists if entry clearance is obtained in advance.
• There are some exceptions to the normal rule, as a non-visa
national must apply for entry clearance if:
a) Visiting the UK to marry or to form a CP, or give notice of
this, unless they are an EEA national or a national or
Switzerland; or
b) When seeking to visit the UK for more than 6 months.
LEAVE (PERMISSION) TO ENTER AND CONDITIONS:
• Most visitors under Appendix V: Visitor will be given leave to enter
the UK for a period not exceeding 6 months, subject to a condition
prohibiting employment.
• This does not prohibit any work-related permitted activities.
• There will also be a condition of no study, although this does not
prohibit the incidental study allowed by the permitted activities.
• Visitors will be subject to the condition that they cannot have
recourse to public funds.
• Within the period for a which a visit visa is valid, a visitor may enter
and leave the UK multiple times, unless the visit visa is endorsed as a
single or dual entry visa.
FREQUENCY OF VISITS:
• There is no restriction on the number of visits a person makes to
the UK or a specified time period that must elapse between
successive visits.
• HO Guidance: A person who has made a series of visits to the UK
with only brief intervals between them would not, in the absence of
any other relevant factors, be refused entry as a visitor.
- However, an immigration officer will consider the stated
purpose of a visit in light of the length of time that has
elapsed since previous visits.
• HO accepts that, occasionally, a visitor carrying out a permitted
activity associated with business, may be required to stay for a period
of weeks or even months in the UK.
• HO Guidance: Accepts that there is no specified maximum time a
visitor can spend in the UK in any period.
- However, it is clear from a visitor’s travel history that he is
making the UK his home, the application will be refused.
