Landing Card

Landing Card

A Landing Card is a form that non-EEA citizens are required to complete on entry to the United Kingdom. The traveller must present the completed form at the immigration desk at the point of entry. The form is usually supplied by the airline, train or ferry company.

The Landing Card system is governed by the Immigration Act 1971 Chapter 77, which states;

The Secretary of State decides, by issuing a Statutory Instrument, which nationalities must complete a Landing Card. Currently all EU nationals, and those from Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, are exempt. Failure to complete a Landing Card when this is required is a crime punishable by a fine or 6 months in prison.
