PORTUGUESE CITIZENS WHO WISH TO VISIT THE UNITED KINGDOM
2. Portuguese citizens are welcome to make short visits to the United Kingdom for holidays, or to see relatives, or for business purposes. The Immigration Officer must, however, be satisfied that the visitor does not intend to settle in the United Kingdom or to stay longer than the period of three months normally granted to foreign visitors. If the Immigration Officer is satisfied that the real object of the foreigner is not to pay a visit to the United Kingdom but to take up work or to settle there, permission to land, even for a visit, will normally have to be refused. Young Portuguese citizens wishing to stay temporarily to learn English while living with a family in the United Kingdom may be admitted on certain conditions, details of which can be obtained from the nearest United Kingdom Consular or Visa Officer.

Permission to reside in the United Kingdom with a relative is given only by the Home Office and should be secured before the foreigner comes to the United Kingdom otherwise he may have to be refused leave to land, or if he is allowed to land will be required to leave the country at the conclusion of an ordinary visit. A Portuguese citizen who wishes to live in the United Kingdom should apply to the nearest United Kingdom Consular or Visa Officer stating in full his reasons for wishing to do so. If he wishes to join a relative in the United Kingdom his application should be accompanied by documentary evidence that the relative is able and willing to offer him a home and maintenance in the United Kingdom.
