If you're under 18
You may visit the UK if you’re under 18 and:
- you’ve made suitable arrangements for your travel and stay in the UK
- you have written consent from your parent or guardian to travel to the UK (if travelling alone)
- you’re able to pay for your return or onward journey
- you have enough money to support yourself without working or getting help from public funds, or you have family and friends that can support you
Travelling alone
You can travel to the UK without an adult (someone over the age of 18).
Your parent or guardian will need to provide their:
- written consent for you to travel to the UK
- full contact details
They’ll also need to provide proof that you have somewhere suitable to live during your stay in the UK, including:
- the name and date of birth of the person that you will be staying with
- an address where you will be living
- details of your relationship to the person who’ll be looking after you
- their written consent for you to stay with that person while you’re in the UK
Travelling with an adult
You’ll need to show that your parent or guardian consents to your travel and accommodation arrangements. If you do not need a visa to travel, you’ll need to prove this at the border.
