Afternoon,
I’m hoping someone on here may have some up to date info / experience in relation to ‘Letter of invitation’ requirements and if they are being enforced (I can’t see anything since around 2021 when searching).
I was planning on coming to the Island in August to stay for a maximum of 2 weeks at a family’s address. My family aren’t currently living on the island so their address is empty. As a result they aren’t able to physically attend a Police Station to apply for a letter of invitation that I have been made aware may be a requirement and aren’t planning to come to the Island before I would.
On entering at the airport has anyone had experience of being asked to show proof of where you will be staying (booking confirmations / letters of invitation etc). Obviously if I kept plans as they are I wouldn’t have anything to be able to show where I am staying (family don’t rent out the property or anything when they are not there, just occasionally I or other family stay for a holiday but not for a few years). The only documentation I would have would be my flight details (for the return journey).
I’d rather not have to book a hotel or somewhere else to stay however also don’t want to arrive and have issues at the airport.
If anyone has any recent experience it would be appreciated.
Thanks
