Just landing at the airport to change planes would cost £35

Apply for this visa if you need to pass through the UK on your way to another country.

How long you can stay and how much the visa costs depends on whether you pass through UK border control.

If you go through border control

No No 48 hours £64
If you do not pass through border control
Can work Can study How long you can stay Cost
No No Your onward journey should be within 24 hours £35

Re: Brexit

This will not encourage a no-deal Brexit.
Quote:
Brexit news - live: Anger as government admits it will fail to strike Japan or Turkey trade pacts by exit day in event of no-deal
The government has been accused of breaking its promises after it emerged that key trade deals would not be ready by Brexit day in a no-deal scenario.
Whitehall documents reveal agreements with Japan, Algeria and Turkey will not be rubber-stamped by March 29 – despite Liam Fox’s assurance that deals would be ready at “one second after midnight in March”.

lol. Why worry about a minor country like Japan when we have that economic superpower the Faeroes deal inked.

---------- Post added at 22:20 ---------- Previous post was at 20:48 ----------

Looks like a no deal is increasingly unlikely.
Quote:
Group of 100 Conservative MPs ready to force Brexit delay if May's deal fails
Theresa May has been warned by a group of 100 moderate Tory MPs that they are prepared to rebel against the Government to force her to delay Brexit if she cannot reach a deal.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...ctors-reshape/

I'm sure Eurostar staff and passengers will be mightily relieved if no deal can be avoided as seems likely from the previous article.

No-deal Brexit risks Eurostar ‘chaos’ at St Pancras
Queues of up to 15,000 people could stretch for a mile if the UK drops out of the EU without an exit agreement, according to a report drawn up by the British government.

Re: Brexit

I wouldn't worry too much about the Eurostar stuff, when the queues at 'their' end get to 1.6 kilometers they'll soon sort something out

Because that's where the growth is, did you not get the memo?

GDP growth for Faroes (est 2014) 5.9%
GDP growth for Japan (actual 2018) 0.30%

Exports to the UK;

Faroes $129.3m
Japan $50.2bn

Re: Brexit

Another nail in the coffin for no deal?
Quote:
  • Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Greg Clark claim they're prepared to defy the PM
  • Writing in the Daily Mail, they warn No Deal departure would wreck the economy and are prepared to force Mrs May to extend Article 50 or delay Britain’s EU exit
  • They say it remains their hope Parliament agrees a deal ‘in the next few days’

Re: Brexit


EU offers lucrative tax breaks to firm of billionaire Brexiter.


Will be interesting to see if he opens a factory in Bridgend or not.

For EXISTING factories/plants and probably for OTHER companies as well.

Quote:
The chemicals and plastics company Ineos’s subsidiaries and joint ventures have been granted support from Germany, the UK, Belgium and France of at least €178m (£155m), according to a Guardian analysis of the European commission’s state aid data since July 2016.
...
The majority of state aid to Ineos companies controlled by Ratcliffe came in the form of tax breaks. Many of them have been linked to policies designed to accelerate the transition towards renewable energy, as well as tax reliefs for large industrial energy users.

Re: Brexit

If you search long enough you can find things that suit a particular argument.

I wonder how many 'Remain' owned businesses have also been offered tax breaks over the last 3 years?


anyway, IMO offering tax breaks to a business that makes £2.2bn profit stinks

The GROUP may make those profits, but the INDIVIDUAL companies won't. Cross-subsidies are not allowed. You could unfairly use profits from one company to prop up another, thereby putting competitors of that unprofitable company out of business.

The payments seem to be mainly related to excessive green taxes. Certain processes use a lot of energy, there is no getting around that. If there was, they would use it regardless of any green taxes.

Re: Brexit

This is where it gets interesting.

Are the EU countries blinking? Maybe not Ireland yet; maybe not all; but the smoke signals are emerging.

Does it hinge on Geoffrey Cox providing a positive legal opinion?

Does it hinge on that Corbyn thing manoeuvring for power or will he give Labour a Free vote?

Would the best Tory psychology be to give their members a free vote?

So many variables that keep the risk high that there would be no deal.

I’d be happy with a deal that limits the backstop but not one that enshrines in treaty that the future relationship will be founded around a customs union.
