Passport Control: Answering Questions at the UK Border

Next, please. Can I see your passport?

Oh, yes... of course. Here it is.

Thank you. What's the purpose of your visit?

Um, it's business. Well, sort of.

Sort of? Is it business or pleasure?

Sorry, I'm a bit nervous. It's a conference.

I'm giving a talk in Manchester on Friday.

I see. And how long are you staying?

Ten days. I'm flying back on the 20th.

Have you got a return ticket?

Yes, it's on my phone. Here.

Lovely. And where are you staying?

Well... at a hotel near the station. It's called...

Oh no. I can't remember the name.

I'll need the address of your accommodation.

Of course. I booked it last week, I promise!

Take your time, but I do need it.

Ugh, why isn't my email loading?

Okay, stay calm. Have you checked your booking app?

Wait... yes! It's here in the app!

The Northern Hotel, 12 Station Road.

Thank you. That's all I needed.

And you don't need a visa for a short visit.

Really? So that's it?

Ha, that's it. No landing cards these days.

Honestly, I was so worried about this part!

Don't worry, you're not the first.

Good luck with your talk on Friday!

Thank you so much. Have a nice day!

You too. Enjoy your stay in the UK!
