Common Visa Questions / Standard Visitor Visa (Non-Visa Nationals)

1. Do I require a visa to enter the UK?

If you are a visa-national, you must secure a visa prior to travelling. Non-visa nationals (listed below) do not need to apply for a visa beforehand if their stay is under 6 months. Upon arrival, your passport may be stamped at the airport. Certain non-visa nationals can use e-gates without presenting any documents, but it’s advisable to carry a visa letter from Trafalgar Language and Management College, should immigration officials ask for it.
