No more landing cards at UK airports anymore

There is good news for Indian travellers going to Britain, as the UK government has now said that you won’t need to fill land cards at the airport. The decision has been made as part of a series of measures that were recently taken in order to ease entry into the UK.
Travellers from outside the European Economic Area coming in to the UK before this had to fill in a landing card or form. This card was then handed over to immigration officers along with the landing card. This will definitely ease immigration for passengers, and shorten time for all. However, according to reports, the country’s border security would continue security checks at the airport.


According to Karen Dee, Chief Executive, Airport Operators Association, UK, airports are getting prepared for the busy summer months, and avoiding long queues is now easy as landing cards are no more needed.
While tourists from Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, and the US are permitted to access ePassport gates, Indians cannot do this as of yet. These ePassport gates can be used by travellers from the above mentioned countries, which are located at various ports all across the country.

The new rule is expected to improve the fluidity and also security for people coming to the UK.
