Can UK residents from eligible countries use the ePassport gates in the UK?
Now US citizens and more can use ePassport gates when coming to the UK, can UK residents that are US citizens use these gates?
I notice that if you are a US citizen, coming to study for 6 months or less, you need to see an officer to get a stamp to study.
Was wondering if a resident needs to see an officer too, so they're not just admitted for 6 months at the ePassport gate like a tourist would be.
