Entering the UK as a tourist after expired work visa

Upvote:3

It's possible, but they're VERY strict on it. I've had a few friends do this, and one was deported and the other given a strict warning and told not to do it again.

Essentially, if you're working there, leave and come back in, all signs are that you're trying to go back to your job, potentially illegally.

So you'll need to assure them that you're not doing this, with such documentation as:

resignation letter from your job, or document to say you're no longer employed there.
a flight out of the UK
accommodation / itinerary for your tourist period to show you're actually being a tourist
ideally some numbers of places they can call to confirm these bookings
even better - letter from a company in another country showing you have a job to go to there, rather than working in the UK.
