Not quite an immagration topic, but relevant to travel

My american girlfriend is due to come over in july to sample lifestyle here for a 3 week period, but we know she wants to move here...anyway

During this time in july I want to take her to paris and know that from the USA she will need to fill in the landing card, but what about her leaving the uk for 2 days and returning?

how would that affect her visit here?

It won't. She will fill out another landing card when she returns to the UK from Paris and be stamped back in to the UK.

She will fill out the card upon landing if she flies from Paris to the UK. If you take the Eurostar, she won't have to do anything aside from the passport checks everyone does.

You also fill out the landing card on the Eurostar.

You also fill out the landing card on the Eurostar.

Really? That's a bit surprising, considering you don't go through passport control when you arrive in the UK (since you do it in France). When did they start doing this?

When you go through immigration control for the UK when you leave France, it's as if you are entering the UK right then and that's when you provide your landing card.

It's always been done this way. In Paris, the landing cards are located at kiosks right before you check in for the train at Gare du Nord.

Ahhh, sorry, yes. I have no idea how I forgot about that!

When you go through immigration control for the UK when you leave France, it's as if you are entering the UK right then and that's when you provide your landing card.

And correspondingly, the French immigration control is in England, before you get on the Eurostar, whether at St Pancras, Ebbsfleet or Ashford.
