    Hi all, I have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK. Which queue am I entitled to join at the airport on arrival to the UK?

    • British and member states of the EU or the EEA passport holders
    • Or, other passport holders, the non-EU queue.

    This is very confusing, a number of airports, such as Manchester Airport, say on their websites that "if you are resident in the UK and there is no time limit on your residency (Indefinite Leave to Enter or Remain) and you have fully completed your landing card or if you hold a Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode in the UK, you can use the EU queue". Please see the following link: http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf/Content/Arriving

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Best practice is to follow the Border Control signage at the individual airport.
    imho

    Some folks just join the shortest......often results in delay....but sometimes ....

    Thats interesting.
    So my wife can check through the gates for those with UK passports as she has ILR?

    Hi JohnAsh, I think it depends on the airport. There does not seem to be a common agreement on this!
