BACK TO THE LAND IN BRITAIN
(Page 8 of 9)
Entry into Britain is granted on a temporary (tourist)
basis quite simply at the port of entry. Length of stay
stamped into your passport is based on: (a) your own
requirements and (b) the money you say you have available
to you while in the country. When funds are low and you
want to stay long, you should explain that (1) you will
have no hotel bills because you will be staying with
friends or relatives [ have an address handy] or (2) your
family will be sending you money on a regular basis.

Later applications to remain and become employed
are not so readily approved. A visitor may renew a
temporary visa almost indefinitely, however, and summer
employment in England is OK with the immigration officers.
And, of course, a self-supporting land-owner may change
from tourist renewal to permanent resident status with
relative ease.
Conditions on the Island of Jersey are even better. There,
employment in hotels and in agriculture may be obtained
without the documents and other red tape required in the
rest of the British Isles. In fact, there are no passport
formalities of any kind at the end of the $10 ferry ride
from Weymouth on the south coast of England.
Maybe Jersey—with its sunny clime, remarkable beauty.
great number of gentle cattle which bear its name and
all-around lack of formalities—is the best
introduction of all for any North American interested in
going back to the land in Britain. In my mind, however, the
whole U.K. offers almost ideal opportunities for "modern
homesteading". Come on over and see for yourself.
TRANSPORTATION TO BRITAIN
Getting to Great Britain is, not the expensive proposition
you may have thought. A round-trip air ticket to London can
be purchased for only $150 and internal travel is quite
reasonable, even without using the "runabout" bus and rail
tickets available to tourists at token fees. And, of
course, the faithful thumb remains a legal and successful
way of getting about in the U.K.
The following agencies sell charter flights ($150 roundtrip
from the eastern United States). Other agents may be found
in the advertising columns of the LONDON SUNDAY TIMES, sold
at least on one newstand in every major North American
city.
