US Citizen with US Passport and Biometric

[lalithakameshwari]

Child with US passport is travelling to UK, does child have to go for bio-metric? I understand US Citizen doesn't need a UK Visa. But do they have to go to bio-metric?

no. if they are coming as a tourist or a family visitor, no visa, no biometrics, just get straight on the plane

however if they want to come as a PBS dependant or student or whatever else, they still need a visa and yes, will have to do biometrics to get it. in the US, biometrics for UK entry clearance is done at USCIS application support centres by appointment made through UK visa online application system
