Red tape and visas
Citizens of most European countries can enter the UK with just a
passport; EU citizens can stay indefinitely, other Europeans can
stay for up to three months. US, Canadian, Australian and New
Zealand citizens can stay for up to six months, providing they have
a return ticket and adequate funds to cover their stay. Citizens of
most other countries require a visa, obtainable from the British
consular or mission office in the country of application.
If you want to extend your visa, you should write, before the
expiry date given on the endorsement in your passport, to: The
Under Secretary of State, Home Office, Immigration and Nationality
Dept, Lunar House, Wellesley Rd, Croydon CR9 2BY (tel 0870/606
7766, ), enclosing your passport or National Identity Card and form
IS120 (if these were your entry documents).
