Entering the UK as a tourist after recently visiting as a student visitor? - Back view of unrecognizable man walking towards ancient monument Great Sphinx of Giza

I went on a three and a half month exchange to the UK Sept 2014 to DEc 2014. I've been back here at home in Canada since and now, in May 2015, will be going back to visit my boyfriend as a tourist for three months.

What documents should I bring along? Should I expect to be questioned?

I already plan to bring bank statements, proof of funds, a letter from my boyfriend stating I will be staying with him while I'm there, and proof of my return trip.



Best Answer

As a Canadian citizen you don't need a visa to come to the UK, however, the same site recommends you to bring the same documents you would if you apply for a visa:

  • Letter of employment (if you have one)
  • Proof of funds (Bank statements, tax returns)

As far as being questioned this is actually at the discretion of the border control officers so the best answer is: depends on quite a fiew things.
