A visa is not available upon arrival. Applications are made through the official government website with the corresponding documents and fees. Check the requirements in advance to avoid issues.
London Heathrow is the largest and best airport for international travelers. It offers a wide range of connections and transport options to the city and many other places in the UK. Other airports such as Gatwick, Stansted or Manchester are also good options, depending on your travel itinerary. Find out about the best airport for your route.
The local currency in Great Britain is the Pound Sterling (£). Credit cards are widely accepted, however, it is advisable to carry cash for small expenses. ATMs are common, and you can withdraw money with your card. Be aware of foreign transaction fees. Some stores also accept Mobile Payment.
Vaccinations are recommended for COVID-19 and other common diseases but are not legally required. A travel insurance is, however, strongly recommended to cover medical costs or trip interruptions. Check if your insurance also covers motorcycling, as this sometimes requires an additional policy.
In order to drive in the UK, you need a valid driver's license that is valid for motorcycles. EU licenses are accepted. If your license is not in English, you should carry a translation or an international driver's license. Note the left-hand traffic, which can make driving somewhat challenging for drivers from countries with right-hand traffic.
In the UK, you can easily purchase SIM cards in stores like O2, Vodafone, or EE. There are prepaid options that are good for travelers. It’s best to get advice in the store. You usually need an ID for identification to buy a SIM card.
