Group Travel |
|
You can travel under the Group Travel Scheme if you:
|
|
arrive in the United Kingdom as part of a group, or intending to join a group; and
do not plan to stay for more than six months.
You do not need to use this if you are an EEA or Swiss national.
|
By using Group Travel you will:
|
|
pass through immigration control faster;
be kept together with your group;
be able to arrive individually and meet up; and
join tours in the United Kingdom and use the group travel point to meet.

You do not need to travel with a Group Leader as part of the Group Travel Scheme.
