Answer 1

You may still need a visa to certain countries.
I am afraid that you will have to look up the home pages of the individual countries' embassy to find out for sure.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes you do need a Tourist Visa for any country you will visit outside the UK.however some countries allow you the right of Transit up to 24 hrs.
The excercise is expensive and requires a lot of personal commitement.

Answer 3

You will only need to get a Schengen visa from the Embassy of one of the EU countries, this is because UK hasnt signed the schengen treaty and UK visas are only valid for UK. Once you get the schengen visa you can travel to any of the 27 EU countries plus Switzerland and Norway. The Greek Embassy in London is the one who is giving more easy the schengen visas. Good Luck

Answer 4

From which Asian Country are you from? That could also make a difference; in Italy for instance for people from Countries like South Korea and Japan visa is not required if they stay up to 90 days.
About Schengen Agrrement, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement
for more info and a list of Countries (currently, 15 have implemented the agreement, yet).

Answer 5

Good question! First of all, welcome to the UK -- you must be a little homesick, but hopefully everyone is being helpful and welcoming you to your new home!

In the Uk you must contact the Home Office for all matters relating to immigration. You must make these arrangments in advance to leaving the UK, so that you can be sure to have easy re-entry.

Most American Immigration Officials behave like filthy animals toward hard-working honest people trying to move to America. The British and European Officials are completely different -- they are professional and kind.

Either way, you need to obey the rules even in Britain. Please google the Home Office and they have very helpful pages about getting clearance to travel.

There are so many very inexpensive flights now from Britain to the rest of Europe, much cheaper than travel in the U.S., so Europe is a great place to begin seeing the world! Have a safe and happy trip!

A word of caution to all tourists in Europe: Always carry your pasport in a tight inside pocket, since there are pick-pocket thieves in big cities who like to steal passports form tourists . . .

Answer 6

You'll probably need a Shengen visa Honey. So contact the consulate of the EU country you want to visit and they'll issue you with a visa to travel in Europe. You'll have to go to the relevant consulate though.
