Your identity document (for example your passport or identity card) will be checked when you arrive at a UK port or airport to make sure youre allowed to come into the country. It should be valid for the whole of your stay.
You may also need a visa to come into or travel through the UK, depending on your nationality.
Check which documents youll need to come to the UK.
You do not need to take any COVID-19 tests or fill in a passenger locator form. This applies whether youre fully vaccinated or not.
What you can bring with you
What you can bring with you depends on where youre travelling from. You must declare to customs:
- anything over your duty-free allowance
- banned or restricted goods in the UK
- goods that you plan to sell
- more than 10,000 (or its equivalent) in cash, if youre coming from outside the EU
You and your baggage may be checked for anything you must declare.
