Touring Tips
If you are looking for touring tips, this blog is made for you. This is my hobby to read, explore and write about trips. You can also subscribe to my newsletter.
Power Socket
230V AC power outlets typically feature three pronged outlets that require adaptors every time you charge up a device, so taking along a universal travel adapter could save money and hassle by keeping all your electronic devices charged up at all times.
Language
Since English is spoken throughout the UK and tourists should be able to communicate regardless of where they visit in this nation, English should enable communication across borders and allow everyone to share ideas freely.
Be mindful that there is an array of accents across the UK; understanding these can sometimes prove challenging! Areas known for strong accents include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as Liverpool and parts of West Country.
Entry Visa
Stays of six months or longer do not require a visa when entering the UK for EU citizens as well as non-EU members of the European Economic Area (EEA) and overseas countries and territories (OCT).
Most Asian nationals requiring entry to the UK require a visa and may only remain here for up to six months at any one time.
Before travelling to the UK, it’s wise to verify the validity of your visa. If your stay will extend past six months, applications for study visas, work permits or any other special permission should be made as appropriate.
Driving
As most British residents are right-handed, driving on the left side is common practice. When arriving for your initial year in the UK, driving with either an IPR (International Driving Permit) from home country or IDR will allow you to operate legally on public roads. After your initial year has expired, obtaining a provisional UK licence and fitting an L plate to your car are necessary to continue operating legally in Britain; then scheduling and passing an official UK driving test must then follow.
Why I started writing on touring tips?
I moved to United Kingdom in 2020 as an MSc student.
I didn’t know anything about United Kingdom when I arrived. Since then, I’ve done everything from mortgage research to travelling within United Kingdom, from jump card to driving license. I’ve done it all the hard way. That’s why I started Britannia Blog which focus on the touring tips.
