Visa policies of British Overseas Territories

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British Overseas Territories (BOTs) maintain their own rules regarding immigration requirements different from the visa policy of the United Kingdom, but remain under its sovereignty. As a general rule, British citizen passport holders do not generally have automatic right of abode in these territories.

Akrotiri and Dhekelia[]

Visa policy of the Schengen Area, which applies to Akrotiri and Dhekelia

 Akrotiri and Dhekelia – The visa policy is the same as for Cyprus, which follows the visa policy of the Schengen Area.[1] However, stays longer than 28 days per 12-month period require a permit.[2] The territory has open borders with Cyprus, but performs police checks that are de facto immigration checks on those entering from Northern Cyprus.[3] The Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom do not recognize Northern Cyprus as a country and consequently do not consider the demarcation line to be an international border.

Anguilla[]

  • Visitors Permit: Nationals of countries not listed as visa-exempt need to obtain a visitor's permit prior to arrival in the Falklands. Visitor's visas must be obtained from the nearest British Embassy or Consulate in the visitor's home country.[39]
  • Work Permit: A work permit needs to be applied for outside of the Falklands initially. Grants leave to the holder to enter, depart and reside in the Falklands during the period of its validity and to take employment with a specified employer or on one's own account engage in any trade, business or vocation stated in the permit. Maximum validity is 2 years but it can be renewed on application.
  • Residence Permit (Temporary): A Residence Permit, which needs to be applied for outside of the Falklands, grants the holder to enter, depart and reside in the Falklands during the period of its validity up to a maximum of 3 years, but it can be renewed on application.

Where an application for a permanent residence permit is approved, any dependents included in the application of a principal applicant will also be granted a permanent residence permit in their own right. The annual number of permanent residence permits that may be granted is controlled by a quota system.
