Essentially I'm wondering if there is any way that you can voluntarily go through border immigration check without leaving the country.
Given airport security I doubt you can get into the Heathrow arrivals area without arriving on an inbound plane from a foreign country, but is there any way to essentially 'volunteer' into an immigration border re-check? Or is there any point at which if you cross into an area you would need to go through immigration?
I know of students who didn't read the rules and did the border egate check rather than the student visa stamp in person. Their class is short so they won't encounter lengths stays but the program is requiring them to get stamped. Short of flying to Paris and coming back is there a simple way to get "re-checked" into England?
Weird, I know, thanks to anyone with information,
