​

有幾位人士入境英國時遇到冇收到 LOTR 的印章！

雖然有直接跟Immigration Officer 講想申請LOTR，但是對方只係俾了一個普通的入境印(遊客身分)或直情冇俾印

​

貼士：

  1. LOTR 身分是會有兩個印！
    一個是普通入境的日期印加一個長方型印並寫了 ‘Leave to enter for until 6 months, No recourse to public funds ’。

  2. Immigration Officer 會叫你去一個隔離區坐一陣之後拿走你的護照和其他有需要的證明文件。之後返來時會跟你說是否批了LOTR。

  3. 你有 BNO 就用BNO 申請，唔好拿出兩本護照出來。最後有人被當外國人遊客入境英國並沒有批 LOTR 😥

  4. 最好選擇入境時常處理LOTR批核的邊境- e.g. Heathrow Airport ✈️ 有列子入境Birmingham Airport時，因為Officer 唔識LOTR 所以只俾了遊客身分😕

​

​

Some people are experiencing not getting the LOTR status at the border.

Although they have told the Immigration Officer that they want to apply for the LOTR status, they either got a stamp for tourist or didn’t receive a stamp at all! 

​

Tips:

​

  1. You will get 2 stamps with LOTR. One is the normal stamp plus a rectangular stamp which states  ‘Leave to enter for until 6 months, No recourse to public funds ’.

  2. Immigration Officer will take you and sit in a separate area. The Officer will take away your passport and relevant documents and later on come back to let you know the result.

  3. If you have a BNO passport then use it please! Don’t show multiple passports as this confuses the Officer. Someone did that and just got treated as a foreign tourist entering the UK without LOTR 😥

  4. Choose to enter at borders which often deal with LOTR applications such as Heathrow Airport ✈️ Have a real life example in which the Officer from Birmingham Airport didn’t know what LOTR is and just gave a normal tourist stamp 😕
