There are some important things to know before you travel to the UK. Following some simple tips can ensure that your trip is fun and worry-free. If you need a visa to visit the UK, you should allow plenty of time to apply. If you have been issued with a visa, you must keep to the conditions attached to your visa.
For example, you must not take employment while in the UK if your visa prevents you from working, and you must leave the UK before your visa expires. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay, and it must contain a page that is blank on both sides. If you give false or misleading information to UK Border Agency officers when you bring goods into the country, you could be subject to a severe penalty and your goods may be seized.
