Non English speaking parents travelling to UK

Post by Sridharvaranasi7 » Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:12 pm

Hi Team,

My mom is scheduled to visit me in a week. She doesn’t speak English fluently—she can understand some parts but isn’t entirely comfortable with the language. She will be arriving at Gatwick Airport. Could you recommend any resources or assistance that might help her navigate the immigration process in the UK?

I have booked wheelchair service with the airline. Is there any format of a letter that she can carry which explains her reason for the visit?

Thanks,
Sridhar

There are no specific or official templates, write a letter "to whom it may concern" for her to carry, explaining who she is, who you are, explaining she's not fluent in English, a brief details of visit. Shouldn't be an issue.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
