If I travel from London to Paris, will someone check my passport/visa, and when I come back?

Maybe you just have that kind of face!
thanx, I always wondered how it worked. I was told that whenever I re-enter the UK, (Im on a working holiday visa) I should try not to enter through heathrow, cause chances are slimmer that I have to prove I can sustain myself and all that. so much for that.

If you're on a working holiday VISA, they'll ask you who you work for, do you have work, what kind of work etc. If you're on the one where you're only allowed to work 1 year full time, they'll ask you this as well, so just have all your info sorted out.

That said, eurostar is definately the way to go to Paris, dont have to wait for the plane and the airport in Paris is a little out of the city. Definately dont go to heathrow cos if there's a few planes landed, it'll take forever to get in.[/quote]

I've not had any trouble with coming back on the Eurostar, so it might just be bad luck if you get hassled.
