Do you know that for a fact or just assuming? Every (air)port in the UK which you can arrive at from outside the UK will have immigration and passport control.saren wrote:I am worried because there is no immigration at Exeter airport.
Exeter International Airport -> Passport and visas wrote:UK Border Agency officers will scan passports of all passengers who have been outside the UK and cross-check details. Only those people who have the right to enter the United Kingdom are allowed to do so.
Fact. For entries from the Republic of Ireland or elsewhere in the Common Travel Area, arrivals are not routinely inspected for immigration purposes by the UK Border Agency. See http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/trave ... ravelarea/Do you know that for a fact or just assuming?

This crossed my mind too. This and the fact that the OP has asked the same question on at least one other online forum (http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/uk-e ... 10092.html) might lead one to believe that there is more to this than meets the eye.Although not strictly relevant to your enquiry, it is interesting that the Immigration Officer in Dublin made a record of your arrival and only granted you entry for just over a month, instead of the 3 months that would be given to most visitors.
Out of interest, is this still the case even though the Irish did not grant the full 90 days' leave?However, as you entered Ireland legally and do not require a visa to visit the UK, under the 1971 Immigration Act you will on arrival at Exeter be "deemed" to have been given entry for 3 months as a visitor.
Good question. I would always have said 'yes', and the flowchart to which you provided a link does not indicate otherwise, but going back to the Act itself, the only bit I can find has me wondering. This is in Schedule 4:-simmo wrote:Out of interest, is this still the case even though the Irish did not grant the full 90 days' leave?However, as you entered Ireland legally and do not require a visa to visit the UK, under the 1971 Immigration Act you will on arrival at Exeter be "deemed" to have been given entry for 3 months as a visitor.
