My understanding is that it's increasingly difficult for foreigners

Can't say I found it any more difficult last year than the previous 20+
years.

Mind you, from this year, I believe you have to fill in your landing
details on-line before you fly. The guy at immigration actually made a
point of mentioning this to me.

That sounds a tad awkward for people who don't have internet acces

There are cyber cafes of course, but I wonder ihow well someone without
their own internet access is going to cope with this.



Chances are that someone without internet access will be buying their airline tickets via a high street travel agent, so perhaps the shop will help them do that?

At one point a year or so ago you were having to get a "not really a visa" from the US Embassy or Consulate. Kind of negates the point of the "visa waiver agreement" that the US and UK are supposed to have.
