@ jiwa81, what is your situation to be keen to know what questions they might ask u at the airport?
Do explain your current situation so we know what to comment on.

This question that what they will ask at airport seems to be absurd. We are given an entrepreneur visa, we have right to travel where ever and whenever we want, why ask questions every time at airport?
I mean i had the Canadian PR and no one ever asked me where i have been and for how long. It’s none of their business once we go for extension they can refuse if we do not meet their requirements simple. Are the immigration officers more powerful than the ECO's?
Sorry if i am hard but it seems like we are sort of criminals under vigilance.

@ MTZ510, it is the bad egg among the Tier 1 entrepreneur that make such checks to be done. There have been cases of some people who claim to be doing business in UK, who then travel to their home country to spend over 3months holiday. Don't forget the fact that the same checks are been applied to students who got questioned if they travel during term times.

The best way to avoid unnecessary questions at airport is for entrepreneur to take reasonable holidays and put plan in place for business to continue trading in case of unforeseen long holidays.

the ppl who applied and got visa outside uk, u have been given entry clearance to travel to uk subject to satisfaction of IO at airport as well. no such visa is guaranteed access into country except some family route or permanent route.

all PBS holder under any category are subject to immigration control no matter what.

we must follow rules/procedure however cant dictate them to facilitate us

Agreed . But what's the point in making inquires every time one is travelling. I mean the IO can exercise his right on first arrival but enquiring every time one is travelling is beyond me. But as you said that's the way it is so accept it.

In my opinion you should be honest. Simple way to be tension free. ;)

Man you will not be asked about Hollywood or Amazon's forest. They will ask you general questions about you and your business. Simple is that.

Don't make this forum as joke. Use common sense mate.

Jawai, Thank God for safe trip for you. This could only have been God and not confidence and been positive alone. For your travel I am glorifying God here because ever since you raised the issue on the forum it has been a great concern to me.Welcome and we bless God for safe arrival

They asked me when I came back on heathrow

How much money you need to invest for this visa ?

How many employees do you have ?

What's the name of your business ?

Then immigration officer went inside to check my immigration history, my immigration history is clean.

He came back and stamped my passport.
That's it
