You have overstayed in Spain by 14 months and now wish to spend the maximum time allowable to a visitor in the UK after having been given limited leave to enter on your last entry to the UK. Sorry, you sound like a straight up refusal case to me. I think the only thing that would save you is if you ...

Are all these passports have your real name? If they have then the immigration will certainly know. They are aware of people with dual or multiple nationality. They can even track people from over ten years even if they use different passport. Not true. UKBA would not ordinarily know if one has ent...

Can't see why it should be a problem as long as you are correctly documented.i.e having a valid visa if you need one. Happens a lot where I work. Passengers often fly into the airport from all over the world intending to get a connecting flight maybe several hours later, realise they can't smoke in ...

Presumably you are in the UK.

Then as Babble suggested just contact the embassy of the country to which you wish to travel. I'm sure they all have websites written in English.

You work permit and leave to remain is specific to UK, it does not allow you to travel and/or work in other EU countries. For you to be able to do that your employer will require to apply for business visa / schengen visa on your behalf. I think it would depend on the definition one gives to work/b...

Just a little observation which I concede may not be entirely relevant.
But the poster did not switch from a WHV.By the time he made his application for leave to remain on the basis of his marriage he had already been granted leave to remain for 6 months on some other basis which remains unclear.

Was para 320 specifically mentioned on the refusal notice[IS82A] ? If it wasn't then they are unlikely to be subject to any prohibition.

Normally if the IOs intention is to have the passenger banned para 320 would form part of the refusal wording.

Romancandle, If you turned up at the airport with the intention of getting married on a visit then in all probability you will be refused. You need to obtain a marriage visit visa/EC prior to entry or a fiance EC. Check the link below for the rules: http://ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visitingtheuk/gettin...

Re: getting married in UK

You can apply but may not have time to act on it if received. CoA is not a visa remember, so if you apply and receive it, it does not extend your visa or confer any LTR, so you must leave the UK before the six months of your tourist visa are up. Oh, yes, I do know that. I am planning to come back h...

Katie,

You should be ok. But in addition to the documents you listed it might be useful if he could obtain a letter from his educational institute confirming he is a bonafide student.

Goodluck.

No, not for the public.
There are however several pay parking bays
on surrounding streets. Alternatively you can always
park in the shopping centre car parks directly across

As regards contradiction. 1) Is more or less the same advice. Some IO's are less than happy with non EEA types at an EEA control. As for family member - with a family permit yes, without - no. It will be the EC that is in the passport that matters not what the PAX states. 2) It still states student...

I am afraid I will have to contradict the advice Frontier has given in two respects. 1) Immigration officers are required to see all passengers at any control where they present themselves. In practice however it does not work like that. If you as a non- EU national without an EEA family permit or a...
