About this interview
Airport immigration officers may ask short questions to confirm that your intended visit matches the permission under which you travelled. They usually need clear information about your purpose, stay, funding and departure plans, supported by records where appropriate.
How to prepare
- Review the official immigration authority's current entry conditions before travelling.
- Know the address and booking details for your first accommodation.
- Summarise your itinerary and purpose in two or three direct sentences.
- Check that your account of funding matches the financial evidence available to you.
- Review your onward or return arrangements and any relevant invitation details.
Common mistakes
- Giving a different purpose from the one stated in your travel application.
- Guessing an address or booking detail instead of checking your records.
- Offering unrelated personal information that the officer did not request.
- Becoming argumentative when asked the same point in a different way.
