1. If you have a valid HSMP visa that is valid until 2011 then you can travel to the UK by whatever means you want, including by bus. At the border in France (Calais) the IO is going to check your passport and the visa to make sure that you still qualify for admission into the UK. However, you probably need to explain that it is a VISIT that you came to the UK for. Just make sure that the IO understands this as HSMP is a business visa, so you have to explain fully why you wish to enter the UK at this stage.

2. You will have to get off the bus and physically go through UK Border Control at Calais. Your luggage will be checked as well by customs.

3. I'm not sure about this question but at the border, you have to fill in a Landing Card (If you are a visa national) and the UK Immigration Service retains this. This is the only governmental agency that will know that you entered the UK.

Why don't you just tell us the whole story instead of in dribs and drabs?

Hi Wanderer,

Dont be so harsh...

This is wat I wanted to confirm and would like to know as I am not aware of the immigration process of Uk if I go by bus, I am aware wat is the immigration process if I go by flight.....

So for that only I am making sure wat information or details they asked? and I need to produce to them.

For u it will be story but for me its a valuable information which I should aware of before travelling othherwise it will create a problem for me.

Anyways thanx for ur information.

cheers,

If you have a valid HSMP, you can go to the UK whenever you want. You need not be concerned about that.

What you need to worry about is whether your German Schenegan visa will remain valid so that you can return (it won't be if it is single entry).

But why are you in Germany if you have a valid HSMP? Why are you not working in the UK?

its multi entry visa...so not to worry.
