Do I need to fill out a "landing card"?
« on: August 16, 2006, 06:47:39 PM »
Hey everyone

So I'm flying on Friday to London (moving to be with my H) and I have my visa and all that fun stuff. My question is, do I need to only fill out the white "landing card" they give you on the plane? I've only ever come over as a visitors and had to fill out one of those. Is there another form I'll have to fill out?

I did when I came over on my spousal one in April. I filled it out same as always I think, and handed it in with my passport (and brand spanking new visa).

Congratulations though - how exciting!!  ;D

On a work permit visa, I have to fill one out everytime I enter the UK.

I asked the steward on the plane when I was coming over on the fiancee visa which really annoyed him. (the answer is yes, the only time you don't fill one out is if you are a UK (or EEA?) national.)

Yup I always have the same address I stay at anyway (my inlaws) so it shouldn't be a problem.
