Re: Time for landing for PR

I dont disagree.

My point was that for a visa exempt country there technically is no need for the card, which I still think is the case is it not?

Re: Time for landing for PR

So if they they ask, the answer should be " I am a british, therefore visa exempt"

Why would that not work?

Re: Time for landing for PR

Thanks for your reply,

If you are from a visa exempt country what does it matter if you dont have a PR card. If you travel as a tourist you dont have a visa, I dont see a differance?

Thanks
