[LGM] visas

[lara]

actually - in the gov.uk website it says only this:
Check if you need this visa if you’re visiting from outside the European
Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.

I added Commonwealth - but after examination US and Canadian citizens
would need the visa for visiting:
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/canada/work/six_months_or_less
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/work/six_months_or_less

Will have to check with the home office today to see if there is any
leeway - as tourist... if there's a direct number, these days all seems
to go via the website.

best check all :)

best,
lara
