Download Form 8 (one-to-five day pass) – (PDF format)

The most straightforward temporary pass, and the easiest to apply for, is the one-to-five day pass. We need you to complete Form 8 and the pass applicant must present one of the listed acceptable types of ID when their pass is produced and issued.

At our airports in Scotland and at Southampton a different type of form is used for the one-to-five day pass. Because part of the form actually becomes the paper pass worn by the escorted pass-holder, we cannot provide this form as a downloadable document. However the same conditions must be satisfied and the requirement for acceptable ID to be presented are all the same at whichever airport.

These passholders must be escorted whilst airside and the escorting arrangements are all described in the authorised signatories zone. A second one to five day pass may only be issued in very exceptional circumstances – normally there must be at least seven days between the expiry of one and the issue of another. No matter what, the total of all temporary passes, both one to five day passes and thirty day passes must not exceed 60 days in a rolling 12 month period. Do you need a permanent pass instead?

These passes are suitable for unplanned maintenance work, temporary pharmacy cover or for individuals attending interviews or work experience. There are other reasons too.

We don't need references to be supplied for a one-to-five day pass.

The 30-day temporary pass may be more appropriate if your applicant is carrying out work at the airport. No references are required. Just like all applications we will need to see an approved ID and for those working, evidence of the right to remain and work in the United Kingdom.

Only one 30-day temporary ID Pass per person will be issued. However, in exceptional circumstances the Airport Security Manager or their properly authorised representative, can authorise an application for a second 30-day temporary ID pass to run consecutively.

The maximum period allowed for any individual, for any combination of temporary ID passes at an airport (one-to-five day and 30-day) will be 60 days in any 12-month rolling period.
