Visas and immigration

This section is all about visas. However, it is not relevant for EU or Swiss nationals, who do not need a visa to enter the UK. The regulations can change quickly, so we cannot guarantee that the information shown here is always completely up to date. It is therefore intended for guidance only.

Background note about visas

Visa letter
In order to produce a visa letter we need certain information. Please note that this is essential: we cannot send you the document without it.
