“It will be turned into a risk if passengers fail to produce a completed form and individuals face a 200 pound fine”, the Department for Transport warned.
Anyone who denies submitting the valid completed form may be not allowed to access their flight.
As per the new rule, travelers have to give the reason of leaving that why they are leaving the country? Purpose of arrivals and departure must be mentioned in the ‘Declaration to travel’ form.
