What does being in the Commonwealth have to do with it?SYH wrote:Just apply from Paris, its a shame it happened, especially if you are australian, I mean you are with the commonwealth for goodness sake.
It means from the UK perspective, they don't need a visa because they have ties and not as critical when people like to visit for long periods of time.sakura wrote:What does being in the Commonwealth have to do with it?SYH wrote:Just apply from Paris, its a shame it happened, especially if you are australian, I mean you are with the commonwealth for goodness sake.
I was responding to your response to Sakura. (I'm always meaningful and generally aim to be helpful.)SYH wrote:Yeah so what is your point, she doesn't and that was my point.Christophe wrote:But plenty of Commonwealth citizens do need a visa to visit the UK (although not Australians).
Say something meaningful or helpful. man
SYH, here we go again. Your dumb, idiotic comment comment about being in the Commonwealth as if it was some help in gaining entry into the UK is at the best one of the most ignorant comments to date. And this is taking all your other so-called "information" to date as well. So, instead of trying to wriggle out of it like a weasel, see if you can atleast try and learn a totally new trade- maturity. I know it is going to be really,really hard for you, but atleast try. Please!Yeah so what is your point, she doesn't and that was my point.
I'm not sure that this is correct. Although Australians don't need pre-entry clearance, in the form of a visa, to enter the UK as a visitor, it is nevertheless up to the immigration officer at the point of entry to assess whether to admit the person or not. There is no right, by virtue of Australian citizenship, to enter the UK.Siggi wrote:Lisa71
Let's get this straight are you a resident of Australia or are you a Australian?
Assuming you are a Australian, UK border control must grant you a 6 month's entry, without any question. Go to the UK High Commision in Paris a complain and moan about your treatment.
Excuse me Doc, I think you should refrain from chracterizing my comments as idiotic or dumb.Docterror wrote:lisa71, I am sorry but there doesn't seem to be much that you could do now other than apply for the visit visa from Paris or in a worse case scenario, if they refuse, fro Australia. Since you already have the stamp in your passport, I do not think you will be finding anymore helpful answers from this board other than the ones already provided.

Christophe, sorry to be hijacking your responsebut you are way to nice to be handling him.
The use of deception is a good cause as any for denying entry of which this one can also be interpretted as being having no intentions to return back home. I am sure it was explained by the IO when the entrance was denied.However UK immigration officer would need very, very good grounds to refuse a Australian entry into the UK
I tend to call a spade a spade. Sorry!SYH wrote:I think you should refrain from chracterizing my comments as idiotic or dumb
I am honoured. I was afraid I might be in your "good" books. The only ones who aren't uptight enough to consider you knowledgeful are all locked up in lunatic asylums.I think you are really narrow minded...you are too uptight to appreciate it
None of which has anything to do with by being Commonwealth.know or acknowledge that biases exists for different nationality
Now, to whom and where have we all heard that before?Just grow up
Leaving aside all the personal invective, the important point that I was trying to make above is that the UK entry requirements for citizens of various countries are not primarily decided on the basis of whether or not those countries are in the Commonwealth. Once, this was an important factor but it isn't now. However, there is still a belief in some quarters that it is (hence the posts that we see sometimes about "visa requirements for Commonwealth citizens" etc), and it is surely a good idea to disabuse people of this false impression....to not know or acknowledge that biases exists for different nationality...
The reference that people and bureaucracies having biases and pointing out they do exist hardly is abusive.Christophe wrote:Leaving aside all the personal invective, the important point that I was trying to make above is that the UK entry requirements for citizens of various countries are not primarily decided on the basis of whether or not those countries are in the Commonwealth.

John, sorry! I knew this was coming up, but I only get to that mode when I feel that the disrespect dished out is a bit too much to 'show the other cheek'. I know that going vigilante only makes it hard for you as the Moderator, and my apologies for making it even harder for you.if lack of respect continues this topic will be locked and repeat offenders will see their membership of this board suspended or even deleted.
Well before I could respond to say, Ok I think I understand you now. I was waylaid by Doc Terror, the mother of santimonious prattle.Christophe wrote:I was responding to your response to Sakura.

Is it just me or that kind of creepy?SYH wrote:Its funny, not ha ha, but I was in Paris today and thinking whether to stay longer, if I stuck around, I would have let you sleep on the couch of my friend's flat for a couple days to sort yourself out.
Lisa, going back to your original post: as was pointed out above, you probably have nothing to lose by applying to the British Embassy in Paris for entry clearance for the UK. You would do well to have proof of return to Australia and also proof of funds (notwithstanding that you say you would have been supported financially in the UK).lisa71 wrote:I would be most appreciative if someone could offer any assistance please.
