Do UK residents have to fill out landing cards? - UK flag on creased paper

I'm from a non-EEA country and I previously filled out landing cards to enter the UK. Now I'm a UK resident with a Tier 2 visa. Do I still have to fill out those cards?

Home Office already know the following information about me. Actually they know all except 'contact address' even if I'm not a resident.

  • Family name
  • First name
  • Sex
  • Town and country of birth
  • Nationality
  • Contact address in the UK (in full)
  • Passport no

This field is not applicable. The officer filled in this herself when I entered with the 'entry clearance' vignette, but I don't remember what she wrote.

  • Length of stay in the UK

Maybe the following fields provide some information for statistics, however they must already have the passenger lists.

  • Port of last departure
  • Arrival flight
