Travel Advice
Be sure to follow all the rules and regulations of the UK government.
Your identity document (for example your passport or identity card) will be checked when you arrive at a UK port or airport to make sure you’re allowed to come into the country. It should be valid for the whole of your stay.
You may also need a visa to come into or travel through the UK, depending on your nationality.
Check which documents you’ll need to come to the UK.
