At London Heathrow Airport

The airport immigration and customs offices are not friendly and sometime very rude. This is the nature of their job to be very strict for everyone who wanted to enter UK. You are coming for the right purpose and do not have to be nervous. What you have to do is:

- not too funny, don’t laugh, don't be playful
- not too rude and ego
- be very professional, polite and steady. You will have problem listening to their British accent. Ask them to repeat the question. Do not guess the questions and simply answer. Make sure you give the correct answers.

Typical questions:

Is this your first time to UK?
Yes.

Why are you here?
For holiday. I plan to visit London and a few country sides near London e.g. Bath, Stonehenge, Cambridge and Greenwich.

How long will you stay?
1 week. I have my Malaysia Airlines business class ticket back to Kuala Lumpur on 28 July. (You can show him the ticket is necessary)

Where are you staying?
Marlin Service Apartment as address is stated in the entry card. (MAS will give you the boarding card in flight. Filled in all the information correctly including your address in London)
