Korea COVID Travel BlogFirstly I got 2 gifts on my last day! One from the Korean sound team which was a lovely mask holder embodied with my name and the second from the producers a lovely chop stick set!
So all that was left was for me to return home. Firstly it was brought to my attention that anyone travelling into the UK needs to fill in this form online.
Now I personally haven’t heard anything about this before, but having been gifted the information I filled it (you can do it 48 hours before arrival time). The form was OK, but slightly confusing as it’s a one size fits all solution. So there are questions like who are staying with in the UK (erm.. my house!) and when are you leaving the UK? But you can muddle through it. At the end you get a QR code you can supposedly show or as I did print the form off.
Now all of this sounds much better than the Korean 1000 versions of the same form I had to complete once i’d landed. On landing there are loads of signs saying you must fill this form in if you haven’t already. But when you actually get to the border control no one checks it! If my passport worked properly on e-gates (which is never does for some reason) I would have been able to work through with no one checking my form. Instead I got to a border agent who asked me where I am coming from and if i’d filled the form in but still never asked to see it! Farcical really, the Koreans would not have let me leave the airport until they were confident they knew where I was staying.
Anyway home now to a very happy Ron the cat 🙂
Until next time everyone!
