ANSWER: The Visa requirements vary depending on where you are from, amongst other things, so I would need to know what passport you hold and how long you intend to stay.

That said, I cannot give legal advice, as I'm sure you'll understand, but I can refer you to the relevant information and contacts.

Happy to help!

This page has all the details:

There are still some delays in issuing Visas, and you will have to attend an office of the British High Commission.

All the details and contact emails and telephone numbers are on this page.

Does this help, please?

Expertise

As a full time, UK based, travel journalist, I travel almost constantly around the whole of the UK, searching out restaurants, hotels and "must see" places. Visitors for both business and pleasure are welcome to ask questions. I almost always travel by public transport, so questions on rail, air and coach / bus travel are also very welcome. I also regularly write about and use the "Eurostar" rail service between London and Continental Europe - which uses a tunnel under the English Channel - so I am able to help with any questions there, too.
