does anyone know the answer to this one

I believe you'll find that Biometrics is not required for CI or indeed IoM.

If you need to have this confirmed you'd be better advised to contact Guernsey Border Agency (Immigration and Nationality Division). We don't have many regular posters here from CI

Your wife will be perfectly eligible to enter and re-enter UK at any time.



UK Immigrations rules state:-
"A person who has been examined for the purpose of immigration control at the point at which he entered the area does not normally require leave to enter any other part of it....."
There are some specific exceptions relating to the Republic of Ireland but this will not affect your wife

Concerning the details of Common Travel Area (The United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland) you'll find them within the The Immigration (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Rules.

The advice I was given is as follows....Yes as the final destination is Guernsey the biometrics are not needed,however if entering the UK on route to Guernsey and if planning to stay in the UK for a given time before going to Guernsey,biometrics are needed and should be asked for at the VFS office in Manila on application.
