Return to Question

Recently, I went to the UK, and I have my UK Child Visitor Tourist Visa. I went to the UK alone. However, when I reached the UK, the officer denied my entry because when he called my hotel, they told him that they cannot accept a 17-year-old alone. I didn't check the hotel policy, so that was my mistake.

However, he told me to book a hotel at that time, but I couldn't find any hotel accepting a 17-year-old alone. After that, he told me to book a return flight, and I did. After that, he just wrote "elected to embark 23/04/24" on my passport and handed my passport to me. They didn't do any paperwork in front of me, and they didn't give me a single piece of paper. They just checked my visa, and after that, they just left me in the transit area. I don't think they did any documentation because they didn't give me any paperwork.

So, is my visa canceled, or is my visa okay? Please tell me what "elected to embark" means. Is it good because I think the officer was trying to help? I was worried about my visa. Please help me?

Recently, I went to the UK, and I have a multi entry, unaccompanied UK Child Visitor Tourist Visa. I went to the UK alone. However, when I reached the UK, the officer denied my entry because when he called my hotel, they told him that they cannot accept a 17-year-old alone. I didn't check the hotel policy, so that was my mistake.

He told me to book another hotel, but I couldn't find any hotel accepting a 17-year-old alone. After that, he told me to book a return flight, and I did.
